Over the past hour, Israeli Air Force fighter jets, in coordination with Southern Command and GSS, attacked and eliminated an armed terrorist squad responsible for mortar fire. Simultaneously, another terrorist squad fired a mortar toward IDF forces, lightly wounding one soldier, who is receiving hospital treatment. In response, Air Force fighter jets from the 214 division quickly targeted and eliminated the immediate threat. These actions occurred "yesterday" according to the source. Further actions "yesterday" saw IDF forces identify a terrorist squad firing an anti-tank weapon toward Okbad 98, though no Israeli casualties were reported. Fighter jets, guided by the 188th Brigade's fire range, subsequently attacked and destroyed the structure from which the anti-tank fire originated. Additionally, forces from the 98th division eliminated a number of terrorists engaged in "terrorist features against the forces in the Gaza City space." These operations follow statements made this morning, October 6th, 2025, by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who defended the treatment of Sumud Flotilla activists as "terrorists." Ben Gvir stated he was "proud" of the policy applied to them at Ktzi'ot Prison, asserting, "Anyone who supports terrorism is a terrorist and deserves the same conditions applied to terrorists." The remarks came after the Israeli Foreign Ministry denied allegations of mistreatment concerning activists, including Greta Thunberg, calling the claims "brazen lies" and "ludicrous and baseless."
