The IDF says drone strikes killed about 20 Hamas terrorists who attempted a raid in the Khan Younis humanitarian zone, releasing footage of the incident. Local armed group leader Hossam al-Astal claimed his forces, with Israeli air support, helped stop a Hamas attack on a rival family, though the military did not reference his group. The IDF added that Hamas gunmen later tried to use children as human shields but were killed in additional strikes without civilian casualties.
