The IDF eliminated Saturday several armed terrorists caught looting a humanitarian aid convoy in the Gaza Strip.
During the mission to secure the humanitarian corridor for Gaza civilians, troops from the Tzabar Battalion of the Givati Brigade identified armed terrorists looting an aid truck. In a swift response, forces guided drones to locate the operatives who had fled in a vehicle. The terrorists were then eliminated by an Israeli Air Force aircraft, as well as an additional operative who had attempted to escape.

In recent weeks, Givati Brigade forces have been operating in the Rafah area, having eliminated dozens of Hamas terrorists, uncovered numerous weapons caches, and destroyed terror cells and tunnel networks used to attack Israeli civilians.
The IAF conducted precision strikes on about 20 terror targets across the strip in the past day. Targets included terror cells, military structures, and groups of terrorists planning attacks against Israel. In the afternoon, a surgical strike was carried out on a Hamas command and control center established in a former school building in Gaza City.
Acting on intelligence from the Military Intelligence Directorate and Southern Command, the IDF eliminated Mohammad Mansour, a key Hamas figure described as a significant technological asset in the terror group's military intelligence. Several other Hamas operatives who had orchestrated attacks against IDF forces were also eliminated.
