Tuesday, 10 September 2024 | Israeli Air Force [IAF] fighter jets acting under the direction of the Shin Bet [Israel security agency] and the Israel Defense Forces [IDF] attacked “significant” Hamas terrorists running a command-and-control center in the humanitarian area in Khan Yunis, the Israeli government stated early on Tuesday morning.

“The terrorists advanced and carried out terror attacks against IDF troops and the State of Israel,” the Jewish state said. “Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance and additional means.”

“The terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip continue to systematically abuse civilian and humanitarian infrastructure, including the designated humanitarian area, to carry out terrorist activity against the State of Israel and IDF troops,” the Israeli government added.

Citing medics and the Hamas terror organization, Reuters reported that at least 14 Palestinians were dead. The sources told the wire that Israel launched at least four missiles and that 20 tents were ablaze.

Hamas, a US-designated terror organization that declares its aim to wipe out the Jewish state, is known to make up and distort statistics.
