The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released new footage showing a drone strike in Gaza City against two suspected Hamas operatives. According to the military, the men were attempting to plant explosive devices while concealing themselves under blankets.

The strike was carried out as part of Operation Gideon’s Chariots II, an intensified military campaign in northern Gaza aimed at dismantling Hamas’ infrastructure and preventing future attacks.

IDF officials stated that the operatives posed an immediate threat to both soldiers and civilians, emphasizing that precision strikes are designed to neutralize militants while reducing collateral damage.

The operation comes amid heightened tensions, with ongoing clashes between Israeli forces and Hamas fighters in densely populated urban areas. While Israel says its actions are focused on eliminating terrorist threats, humanitarian groups continue to raise concerns about the impact of the conflict on Gaza’s civilian population.
