A cell of Hamas operatives that wounded two troops in an RPG attack in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis yesterday was eliminated a short while after the incident, the military says.
The two soldiers who were in a tank were moderately wounded when they were hit by the RPG.
The IDF says that a short while after the attack, the troops spotted the cell and killed three of its members with tank shelling. A short while after that, a drone strike hit a building, killing four other members of the cell, according to the IDF.
In a separate incident in northern Gaza yesterday, the IDF says troops of the 401st Armored Brigade spotted several operatives moving weapons and directed a drone strike that killed them.
Additionally, the IDF says the Israeli Air Force hit dozens of targets across Gaza in the past day, including cells of terror operatives, buildings used by terror groups, and other infrastructure.
