Nowhere to hide: IDF carefully strikes terrorists in humanitarian area
The IDF conducted a targeted, precise strike against a command and control center operating in the humanitarian zone.
Last night (Wednesday/Thursday), IDF helicopters struck terrorists hiding in the humanitarian zone and using the targeted site as a command and control center.
According to the IDF, the site, located in the Deir el-Balah area, was used by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists to direct attacks on IDF forces and against the State of Israel.
The IDF took a number of steps to reduce civilian casualties, including the use of precise weaponry, overflights, and precise intelligence.
The IDF has already had to conduct a number of ground incursions into parts of the humanitarian zone, ordering temporary evacuations until the completion of operations, especially in the Khan Yunis and Deir el-Balah areas.
