Khan Yunis: Air Force Attacked Hamas Operative in Humanitarian Zone

An aircraft from the Air Force last night (Wednesday) attacked a Hamas operative who was active in the humanitarian zone in Khan Yunis. The attack was carried out in a targeted manner with intelligence guidance from the IDF intelligence, Shin Bet, and the Southern Command.

The IDF spokesperson stated that "prior to the attack, numerous steps were taken to minimize the chance of civilian harm, including aerial surveillance, intelligence information gathering, and use of precise ammunition. The Hamas terrorist organization systematically violates international law, cruelly exploiting the population and humanitarian zone as a shield for terrorist activities. The IDF will continue to operate with force and determination against all terrorist organizations close to civilian and public institutions."

Last night, fighter jets from the Air Force attacked a Hamas launch site located near a UN building in the Shati area in the north of the Strip.

The IDF noted that the attack was carried out after an announcement was issued calling for the evacuation of the population from the target area for their protection, and after the attack, a rocket was identified being launched from the launch compound.
