Israeli forces operating in the Gaza Strip today eliminated a Hamas terrorist who attempted to ambush troops while using a blanket as cover, according to a statement from the IDF Spokesperson. Fighters from the Givati Reconnaissance Unit (Sayeret Givati) quickly identified the armed operative approaching their position. The terrorist, who was carrying a weapon and grenades, was reportedly attempting to conceal himself by hiding under a blanket as he moved toward the military post. "Immediately after the identification, the soldiers opened fire and neutralized the terrorist," the IDF reported. No injuries were sustained by the Israeli forces.
