The IDF says it carried out an airstrike against a group of terror operatives who emerged from a tunnel and approached troops in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis earlier today.
The operatives had “posed an imminent threat” to the forces, and they were targeted “in accordance with the deal,” the military says.
In another incident, several terror operatives emerged from a tunnel in the Rafah area and opened fire on Israeli troops, the IDF says, adding that no injuries were caused in the incident.
