The IDF says it struck and killed armed Palestinian terror operatives in the southern Gaza Strip who were planning to carry out “imminent” attacks on troops yesterday.

Troops yesterday identified a pickup truck “carrying several armed terrorists,” the military says, adding that “the terrorists were working to advance imminent” attacks on soldiers stationed in the Strip.

The terror operatives were then targeted in an airstrike “to remove the threat,” the IDF says.
