Terror operatives in the Gaza Strip launched an attack on Israeli forces in southern Gaza’s Rafah, according to The Times of Israel. In response, the IDF launched airstrikes in the area.
The incident apparently marks the latest violation of the ceasefire by Hamas.
On Friday, several terror operatives emerged from a tunnel in the Rafah area and opened fire on Israeli troops, the IDF said, adding that no Israeli soldiers were injured in the incident.
In response to the attack, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir publicly urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resume military operations in the Gaza Strip, citing the violation of the ceasefire by Hamas.
“The false belief that Hamas will change its ways, or will even abide by the agreement it signed, are proving, unsurprisingly, to be dangerous to our security. This Nazi terrorist organization must be destroyed completely and the sooner the better,” Ben Gvir said.
