The Israeli military says it has carried out an air strike against fighters planting explosives in the Gaza Strip, the latest such attack inside the Palestinian territory amid an ongoing ceasefire, AFP reports.

“Three terrorists were identified operating near IDF (Israeli army) troops in the area of Nuseirat and attempting to plant explosive devices in the ground. The IAF (Israeli air force) struck the terrorists, and hits were identified,” the army said.

In a separate incident, the army said troops opened fire at a different group of fighter also attempting to plant devices.
