IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the Hamas terror cell that had attempted to infiltrate into Israel this morning from southern Gaza’s Rafah, had initially emerged from a tunnel shaft some 200 meters from the border.
He says the cell was armed with RPGs and assault rifles.
Three members were killed in a drone strike and tank shelling, while a fourth fled back toward Rafah, he says.
One soldier was killed in an exchange of fire when the cell was first discovered.
The IDF releases footage showing the drone strike.
