A loitering munition—operated by the IDF units on the ground—struck a number of additional assailants, who endangered the forces.
During the forces’ exit, an IED exploded under an IDF vehicle, and security forces operated to extract the vehicle. Gunmen fired at forces; those locations were also identified, and the IDF responded in kind.
