Military says commanders in the Shati area near Gaza City’s port were planning attacks on IDF troops; Palestinian reports say a café was hit, killing six, including a child, and wounding 10
On Tuesday, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched an airstrike targeting Hamas commanders in the Shati area near Gaza City's port. The military claimed the strike aimed to eliminate the threat posed by the Hamas operatives to IDF forces operating in the Gaza Strip. Prior to the airstrike, the IDF deployed measures to minimize potential civilian casualties, such as utilizing precise munitions and conducting aerial surveillance.
According to Palestinian media, the airstrike resulted in six deaths and ten injuries. The attack reportedly struck a café in the coastal region of Gaza City, where a large number of displaced people were present at the time. Initially, the Shahab News Agency reported that five individuals, including a child, were killed and 10 wounded after the strike near the port. However, the agency later revised the death toll to six, including a child.
The IDF has not yet commented on the Palestinian casualty reports. It stated that troops under Southern Command continue to remain in the area as per an agreement, and they will persist in acting against what the IDF describes as immediate threats to Israeli forces.
