Palestinian medics say at least 6 people were killed in what the Israeli Defense Forces dubbed an exchange of fire during “operational activity” in Gaza following reports of Israeli strikes and the killing of Hamas commanders.
At least two Hamas commanders have been killed in a shootout with Israeli forces that took place east of the town of Khan Younes, Interior Ministry in Gaza reported, as cited by Haaretz. The fire was opened from a passing car, a Hamas official told Reuters.
There have also been reports of Israeli warplanes targeting the area with some 40 missiles shortly after the incident. Another four people have been reportedly killed in the bombing.
Contrary to reports, none of our soldiers were abducted during the operational activity that took place in #Gaza.
