The IDF says it carried out a drone strike earlier today against a terror operative in the southern Gaza Strip, after he was spotted carrying out surveillance on Israeli troops in the area.

The strike was carried out because the operative had “posed a threat,” the military adds.

An earlier airstrike in the central Gaza Strip targeted a group of suspects who the IDF says were apparently planting a bomb.
