Israeli military forces carried out a targeted drone strike in central Gaza on Sunday, aimed at a “suspicious vehicle” that attempted to dodge a security checkpoint while heading north.

An IAF aircraft fired to distance the vehicle, which was advancing along a route that is not the agreed-upon inspection route — a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement.

Numerous steps were taken prior to the strike to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of aerial surveillance and precise munitions.

“The IDF is committed to fully implementing the conditions of the agreement for the return of the hostages,” a spokesperson said, but added that Israel “is prepared for any scenario and will continue to take any necessary actions to thwart any immediate threat to IDF soldiers.”

The IDF once again called on the residents of Gaza to follow its instructions and avoid approaching troops deployed in the area.
