The Israeli army spoke of "three terrorists operating in the vicinity of Israeli troops and attempting to plant an explosive device". There was also an airstrike in Rafah in the south of the coastal area under similar circumstances.
The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that several people were also injured in the airstrike in Wadi Gaza. A fragile ceasefire was agreed between Israel and the Islamist Hamas in January. So far, neither side has been able to agree on the conditions for an extension. Deadly attacks continue to occur in the coastal strip.
The war was triggered by the attack on Israel by Hamas and other extremist groups on October 7, 2023, in which around 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 Israelis were taken hostage in the Gaza Strip. According to the Hamas-controlled health authority in the Gaza Strip, 48,572 people have been killed since then, including many women and minors. The figures, which do not distinguish between fighters and civilians, cannot be independently verified. Israel speaks of around 20,000 terrorists killed.
