Reservists of the Yiftah Brigade killed a cell of Hamas operatives who approached them in the central Gaza Strip overnight, the IDF says.

A short while later, the IDF says, the troops spotted additional operatives attempting to ambush them in the area. The soldiers called in an airstrike, killing the gunmen.

Meanwhile, in northern Gaza, the IDF says reservists of the 5th Brigade spotted a group of Hamas gunmen and opened fire, killing one, and directed an aircraft to kill the others and a fighter jet to strike the building the gunmen operated from.
