Israeli military says it carried out ‘precise strike’ in central Gaza

Israel on Saturday said that it conducted a “precise strike” in central Gaza’s Nuseirat area, claiming it was aimed at a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group allegedly preparing an attack on Israeli troops.

“The IDF [Israel Defense Forces] conducted a precise strike in the Nuseirat area in central Gaza targeting a terrorist from the Islamic Jihad terrorist organisation who planned to carry out an imminent attack against IDF troops,” the statement said.

The strike took place despite a United States-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas. Both sides, however, have accused each other of breaching the truce.

The IDF’s statement added that Israeli forces would act with restraint under the terms of the ceasefire but would respond decisively to any violation or imminent danger.
