The Israeli army said on Wednesday evening that it had killed a member of Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip. It is the first report of a deadly attack since the truce between Israel and Hamas came into effect last Sunday morning.
According to the army, Israeli soldiers in southern Gaza identified “several armed suspects who posed a threat” and took action “to foil the threat and eliminate the militant.” The army says it has acted within the agreements of the truce.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed that one person was killed and said four were also injured.
