The military releases footage showing an airstrike against an RPG-wielding operative in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya.

The IDF says the operative was spotted by troops of the 636th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit before a strike was carried out. A second airstrike was carried out a short while later after a second operative was identified in the area, the military adds.

Troops in Jabaliya have come under massive RPG fire amid the latest operation there in recent weeks.

Separately, troops located and demolished several tunnel shafts and dozens of rocket launchers, and located a weapons cache adjacent to a mosque, the IDF adds.
