Palestinian sources in Gaza reported that two gunmen were killed in an IDF strike in the southern Gaza Strip. The strike occurred at approximately 1:15 am. 

 

The IDF confirmed operating in the Khan Younis area against local gunmen.

 

At around 2:15 am another Israeli missile strike in the northern Gaza Strip on Monday killed at least one militant and wounded two others, Hamas and medical officials said.

 

An Israeli army spokeswoman confirmed the strike and said the missiles had hit militants who operated in the area.

 

IDF troops operating in the Dahaniya area in southern Gaza throughout Sunday uncovered five tunnels used for weapons smuggling and arrested some 50 Palestinians suspected of terror activity. The men have been detained for initial questioning.

 

Forces came under fire on several instances and responded towards the gunmen. No injuries have been reported.

 

Forces also detained some 50 Palestinians suspected of involvement in terror activity.

 

Three Palestinians were killed and five more were wounded in an IDF strike on Saturday. The army said troops targeted a Palestinian cell in northern Gaza that was moments away from firing a Qassam rocket while Palestinian sources claimed the three men were unarmed civilians uninvolved in terror.
