The army said in a statement on Wednesday its “intelligence has confirmed that both the deceased were members of Gaza-based terrorist organizations actively involved in attacks against IDF (army) forces”.

“Prior to the strike, the two operated drones, posing an imminent threat to IDF troops,” the army said.
