The IDF says it struck and killed several armed Hamas operatives who “posed a threat” to Israeli forces stationed nearby in the northern Gaza Strip.

The operatives were targeted in an airstrike “to remove the threat to our forces,” the military says in a statement.

Earlier, the Hamas-run interior ministry in Gaza said the IDF targeted members of the terror group’s police force while they were patrolling near a police station in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in western Gaza City.

According to the statement, several people were killed and wounded in the strike.
