IDF: The IDF struck terrorist infrastructure in response to launches toward Israeli territory; IDF activity in the Gaza Strip continues
In retaliation to the launches that were carried out yesterday toward the communities near the Gaza Strip, the IDF conducted aerial and artillery strikes toward terrorist infrastructure in the northern Gaza Strip.
IDF troops also continue to operate in the area of Khan Yunis. Over the past day, the troops coordinated with the IAF to kill terrorists and locate weaponry. Several terrorists were eliminated by tank fire as well as precise sniper fire. The troops also destroyed terrorist infrastructure where Hamas operatives hid.
In another incident, the troops identified several armed terror operatives loading explosive materials onto a vehicle. An aircraft stuck and eliminated the cell. Additional terrorists were later identified attempting to plant explosive devices in the area, and an aircraft eliminated them before they were able to do so.
Moreover, IDF troops continue to operate in the central Gaza Strip and killed approximately 10 terrorists there over the past day. In one incident, IDF soldiers identified a terrorist cell near them. The troops fired shells toward them and eliminated the cell, as well as another terrorist operative that was identified a few minutes later.
In a separate incident in the area, an additional terrorist cell was eliminated in close-quarters combat.

<hr>IDF: On Thursday, 14 March 2024, the IDF facilitated the passage of a convoy of 31 humanitarian aid trucks containing food and supplies intended for distribution to civilians in the northern Gaza Strip.
Approximately one hour before the arrival of the convoy to the humanitarian corridor, armed Palestinians opened fire while Gazan civilians were awaiting the arrival of the aid convoy. As aid trucks were entering, the Palestinian gunmen continued to shoot as the crowd of Gazans began looting the trucks. Additionally, a number of Gazan civilians were run over by the trucks.
An intensive preliminary review conducted overnight by the IDF found that the IDF did not open fire at the at the aid convoy in Kuwait Square. A review of our operational systems and IDF forces on the ground found that no tank fire, air-strike or gunfire was carried out toward the Gazan civilians at the aid convoy.
The IDF is continuing to review the incident.
While the IDF continues its humanitarian effort to supply food and humanitarian aid to the civilians of the Gaza Strip, Hamas terrorists continue to harm Gazan civilians who are seeking food – and Hamas is blaming Israel for it.
As a result, on the first Friday of the month of Ramadan, a smear campaign was created with the aim of spreading baseless misinformation for the sake of instigating violence in other arenas.
