IDF says it killed Palestinian terror operatives who posed threat to troops in Gaza
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe IDF says it killed at least two Palestinian terror operatives who “posed a threat” to troops in the Gaza Strip yesterday.
In one incident in southern Gaza, the IDF says it struck and killed Ahmed Abu Mughaysib, the head of a Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket-launching cell.
The military says Abu Mughaysib was involved in advancing attacks on IDF troops and Israeli civilians, and took part in “facilitating smuggling attempts into the Gaza Strip.”
In another incident overnight, a strike targeted several Hamas operatives in central Gaza, who the military says advanced attacks on troops and “posed an imminent threat” to Israeli forces.
At least one Hamas operative was killed in the strike, the army says.
