The aim of the high-level event is to raise funds for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, a U.S. official and diplomats from other countries said.
The operation targeted a weapons manufacturing facility and an arms depot.
“Several civilians crossed into the buffer zone separating the territory of the State of Israel from the Gaza Strip,” the IDF said.

Soldiers of the IDF’s 188th “Barak” Armored Brigade eliminated “a terrorist in the Yellow Line area who approached the forces.”
The State Attorney’s Office said Bezalel Zini used his position as an IDF reservist to smuggle approximately 14 crates of cigarettes to Gaza.
An Israeli airstrike targeted the head of a terrorist cell who killed the kidnapped Nahal Oz field observer while she was a captive.
Bezalel Zini was detained alongside a dozen others last month.
