Overnight, the IDF says it carried out an airstrike against a group of armed Hamas operatives on the Salah a-Din road in the southern Gaza Strip.
The military says the operatives were involved in “terror activity,” during which they “exploited routes used for delivering humanitarian aid.”
“The strike was carried out at a distance from the movement of humanitarian aid trucks and did not affect the continued entrance of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip,” the IDF says.
The IDF says that a separate airstrike earlier today against a vehicle in the Deir al-Balah area of central Gaza hit four armed Hamas operatives.
