The IDF attacked a squad of armed terrorists from the Hamas terrorist organization while they were operating in the northern Gaza Strip, near IDF forces deployed in the Yellow Line area.
In another incident, the 14th "Crush" Brigade combat team forces operating in the northern Gaza Strip yesterday identified five terrorists who approached the Yellow Line and were operating near the forces, posing an immediate threat.
In both incidents, the Air Force, under the direction of the forces, attacked the terrorists with the aim of eliminating the threat. Most of the terrorists were eliminated, and additional casualties were identified.
Prior to the attack, steps were taken to minimize harm to civilians, including the use of precision weapons and aerial surveillance.
