The IDF carried out a strike targeting a terror operative in the southern Gaza Strip a short while ago, according to the military.

Palestinian media reports that the strike hit a tent in the Khan Younis area, injuring several people.

The army does not say whether the target posed a threat. Further details are expected to be provided by the IDF later.
