The IDF says it identified several terror operatives attempting to plant a bomb near troops in Gaza City’s eastern Shejaiya neighborhood earlier today.
Troops deployed in the area opened fire on the operatives, hitting some of them, the military says.
In a separate incident, the IDF says it spotted three terror operatives trying to plant a bomb near troops in central Gaza, close to Nuseirat. An Israeli Air Force drone targeted the three.
Israeli forces are still deployed to a buffer zone along the Gaza border amid the ceasefire, and the IDF has repeatedly warned Palestinians against approaching the area.
