At least six killed in IDF strike on Gaza City cafe targeting Hamas commanders
The IDF released a statement, saying that they targeted Hamas commanders in the Shati area who were planning to carry out attacks against the IDF in the Gaza Strip.
In an airstrike on Tuesday in northern Gaza City, at least six people were killed, including Hamas commanders, according to the IDF. The strike targeted four terrorists, among them a company commander and three platoon commanders, who were gathered at a cafe in the Shati area. The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry reported six fatalities, while Army Radio claimed six killed and ten wounded in the attack.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently imposed restrictions on strikes in Gaza, requiring them to receive approval from IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Col. Eyal Zamir, with exceptions for threats to IDF soldiers or border communities.
