Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip on Wednesday killed at least 10 people and wounded 15, according to Palestinian media, with the IDF saying the airstrikes targeted Hamas operatives.
The first strike, in central Gaza’s Nuseirat, targeted a Hamas company commander who invaded Israel on October 7, according to the military. Palestinian media reported that one person riding a motorcycle was killed in that strike.
Less than half an hour later, the military struck a police station in Gaza City, killing nine people — including a 13-year-old girl — and wounding 15, according to Palestinian media.
The target of that strike was a Hamas commander and several other operatives who were alongside him, the army said. The IDF asserted that the terror operatives had planned to carry out attacks on Israeli troops operating in the Strip, justifying the strikes amid the ceasefire.
Later Wednesday, the IDF said that at least four Hamas operatives and a member of a smaller terror group were present at the police station in order to advance attacks on troops stationed in the Strip.
