Terrorists fired a rocket from central Gaza which crossed into Israeli territory and fell near Kibbutz Be’eri in an open area. A few minutes after the rocket was fired, soldiers of the Nahal Brigade identified the terrorist responsible for the launch in the area of Gaza City. An IAF aircraft was directed to strike and eliminate him. Additional armed terrorist cells operating adjacent to the troops in the area were also eliminated. 

IDF troops are also continuing to operate in western Khan Yunis. Troops carried out targeted operations on terrorist targets during which AK-47s, drones, an RPG, explosive devices, and additional military equipment were located. During separate operational activities, IDF troops, together with the IAF, eliminated terrorists who were operating adjacent to the troops in the area.

In additional activity in western Khan Yunis, IDF ground troops used a drone to identify a terrorist cell that was approaching the troops and directed an aircraft to eliminate the terrorists. A short while after, four additional terrorists were identified in the area, and also eliminated by an IAF aircraft.

IDF special forces are also continuing to operate in western Khan Yunis. Over the past day, the troops encountered armed terrorists, conducted targeted raids on terror targets, seized weapons, and directed a helicopter to strike and eliminate an additional terrorist.
