IDF Engineering Vehicle Hits Hamas Bomb in Gaza; Israel Strikes Targets
An Israeli military engineering vehicle struck an explosive device planted by Hamas terrorists in the southern Gaza Strip on Monday, according to the IDF. No Israeli soldiers were injured in the incident. The IDF stated that the event was a "blatant violation" of the ceasefire agreement by Hamas.
In response to the bombing, the Israeli military launched retaliatory strikes against Hamas infrastructure in Gaza. The IDF reported that these targets were used by the terrorist organization to advance terror plans against Israeli civilians and soldiers. Forces under the command of the Southern Military Command remain deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue to operate to neutralize any immediate threats.
The incident occurred near the "yellow line," a term used by the IDF to refer to the border fence with Gaza. Hamas has previously used explosive devices and tunnels to attack Israeli forces operating near the border.
