Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFollowing reports by medics with the Hamas-run Gaza health authorities earlier in the night that five people were killed in the vicinity of Nuseirat’s Al-Awda hospital, the IDF says that it carried out a strike on a “vehicle with an Islamic Jihad terrorist cell inside.”
The military says that prior to the strike, it took “numerous steps to mitigate the risk of harming civilians.”
Palestinian media had said that the five people killed were journalists, and that the vehicle was marked as a media van and was used by journalists to report from inside the hospital and Nuseirat camp.
“The IDF will continue to operate against Hamas in defense of the citizens of Israel,” the military adds.
