IDF troops operating in the northern Gaza Strip on Saturday identified a terrorist cell that operated adjacent to the troops, posing an immediate threat to them.
Following the identification, the IDF precisely struck and eliminated the terrorist cell in order to remove the threat.
"IDF troops in the Southern Command remain deployed in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat," the IDF warned.
Last week, the IDF identified an armed Hamas terrorist cell that operated in the northern Gaza strip.
Following the identification, the IDF struck and eliminated the armed terrorists in order to remove the threat posed to IDF troops.
Separately, the IDF eliminated Ibrahim al-Khaldi, a terrorist from the Hamas naval force, in the area of Nuseirat.
According to the IDF, Al-Khaldi has functioned as a source of expertise while planning and advancing maritime terror attacks against IDF troops from the Gaza Strip.
The IDF stressed that before the strikes, measures were taken to mitigate the risk of harm to civilians, including the use of precision munitions and aerial surveillance.
The military reiterated that troops from the Southern Command remain deployed in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.
