The IDF says it carried out a strike against a group of Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives who were gathered at a Hamas site in southern Gaza’s Rafah earlier today.
“The attack was carried out in a targeted manner against the PIJ terrorists,” the IDF says, adding that no damage was caused to a hospital close to the targeted site.
The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says 11 people were killed and dozens wounded in the strike. The ministry claims that a paramedic was among those killed.
