“The strike was conducted after taking precautions to mitigate harm to civilians,” the IDF said. On April 8, Israel destroyed Hamas rocket launchers in a Khan Yunis humanitarian zone meters away from an aid distribution area. No civilians were harmed in either strike after being warned ahead of time.
Meanwhile, Israeli aircraft struck over 50 Hamas targets throughout the Strip, including an operational tunnel shaft during the past day. In central Gaza, several Hamas terrorists spotted near Israel forces were eliminated by tank fire.
At least 1,200 people were killed and 240 were taken hostage in Hamas’s attacks on on October 7.
