Defense Minister Israel Katz visits the soldiers wounded in yesterday’s attack by terror operatives on troops in the southern Gaza Strip.

Five soldiers were injured, one of then seriously, when an RPG was fired at an armored vehicle in the Rafah area. In response, the IDF struck a Hamas operative in the Khan Younis area.

“We will continue to act forcefully against any violation and against Hamas’s terror infrastructure in Gaza, until the last hostage is returned and until all Hamas capabilities are destroyed,” Katz says in a statement.
