In response to reports from Gaza claiming over 30 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on a cafe in western Gaza City, the IDF says it targeted several Hamas operatives in northern Gaza earlier today.

According to the military, extensive precautions were taken ahead of the strike — including aerial surveillance — to reduce harm to civilians.

The incident is currently under investigation, the IDF says.
