In a statement, the IDF Spokesperson said that "The terrorists have recently conducted several military training exercises in the area and posed a threat to IDF forces and to the State of Israel".
It was also noted that "IDF forces under the Southern Command are deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue to act to remove any threat".
Earlier this week, IDF forces identified a Hamas terrorist cell traveling in a pickup truck in the center of the Strip. After the identification, an Air Force aircraft struck the armed terrorists and killed them.
The IDF emphasized that "prior to the strike, steps were taken to reduce the likelihood of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence information".
