IDF redirects munition mid-flight to avoid civilian casualties in Gaza strike

The IDF redirected a munition in real-time during a strike targeting a Hamas terrorist in Gaza after civilians were spotted near the target, according to the IDF Spokesperson. The strike, which took place Sunday, was intended to target a terrorist from Hamas's military wing. When a gathering of civilians was identified near the terrorist during the strike, and aborting the munition was not possible after release, it was redirected to prevent civilian harm. The IDF stated the incident demonstrates its commitment to distinguishing between terrorists and civilians and taking precautions to minimize harm.
