Earlier today, the IDF says it carried out a drone strike against a group of Hamas operatives at a command center in the Israeli-designated humanitarian zone in southern Gaza.

The compound, in the Khan Younis area of the humanitarian zone, was used by the Hamas operatives to plan and carry out attacks against troops in Gaza and against Israel, the military says.

The IDF says a separate strike in the Deir al-Balah area of the humanitarian zone targeted a Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative who had carried out previous attacks from the area.

In both strikes, the IDF says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm.
