IDF: Several Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives killed in Gaza City airstrike

Several Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror operatives were killed, including a senior commander, in a recent Israeli airstrike in Gaza City, the IDF says.

According to the military and Shin Bet, the airstrike killed Alkaman Abd as-Salam Khalil Anbar, who was responsible for Islamic Jihad’s rocket firing array in Gaza City.

The IDF says Anbar was responsible for rocket attacks on Israel from Gaza City, as well as being a “significant figure” in the terror group’s weapons manufacturing processes.

Other Islamic Jihad members, involved in rocket fire on Israel and troops in Gaza, were killed in the strike, according to the military.

Meanwhile, the IDF says it is continuing to battle Hamas operatives during an operation in the Strip’s northern towns of Jabalia, Beit Lahiya, and Beit Hanoun. Troops with the 162nd Division also located numerous weapons during the operation, the military says.

In southern Gaza’s Rafah, troops with the Gaza Division directed drone strikes against several gunmen who were trying to attack the forces, the IDF adds.
