Israeli troops killed a Hamas terrorist in the southern Gaza Strip who was planning imminent sniper attacks against IDF soldiers, the military said on Monday.
According to the military, the terrorist posed an immediate threat and was targeted in a precision strike on Sunday.
The IDF said it took measures to minimize civilian harm, including the use of aerial surveillance and precision-guided munitions.
