‘During the activity, terrorists opened fire at IDF forces,’ the military said.
Prior to the strike, the military said multiple measures were taken to reduce the risk of harm to civilians.
The terrorists emerged from a tunnel shaft, with some attempting to retreat back into the tunnel during the firefight.
‘If required, we must be prepared for a rapid transition to a broad offensive to seize additional areas beyond the yellow line.’
‘Efi fought on the front lines and continued even after the ceasefire that Hamas violated again and again. Thanks to his bravery and sacrifice, the people of Israel will prevail.’
‘We must now strengthen the foundations and routines, care for our people and their families, and prepare for the upcoming challenges that exist across all fronts.’
Israeli intelligence believes the terror group knows the location of at least eight and still has access to most of the others, some hidden in fortified tunnels.
Israel delayed Gaza ceasefire for hours and struck multiple terror targets after Hamas refused to handover list of hostages to be released.
Israel must drop its refusal to withdraw from key strategic locations in Gaza in order to quickly reach a deal with Hamas for the release of remaining hostages, says Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
