A cell of terrorists that launched a rocket from Khan Younis at the Gaza border community of Ein Hashlosha yesterday was struck by a drone, the IDF says.
According to the army, the airstrike was carried out shortly after the rocket attack, and additional strikes were carried out against sites used by terror groups in the area.
The incident comes as the IDF’s 98th Division continues a new offensive in Khan Younis. In the past day, the IDF says the troops demolished sites used by terror groups and killed several Hamas terror operatives, including others involved in rocket fire.
Further south, in Rafah, troops with the 162nd Division located weapons and intelligence materials in the past day, the IDF says.
Meanwhile, in the Netzarim Corridor in the Strip’s center, the IDF says troops with the 252nd Reserve Division directed strikes on numerous Hamas sites, including rocket launchers, sniper positions and observation posts.
