Reports from western Gaza City said members of an anti-Hamas militia cooperating with Israel entered the al-Katiba area on motorcycles, prompting a firefight before Israeli aircraft covered their withdrawal. The IDF said it struck several Gaza targets to remove threats to its forces and reported no Israeli casualties. Accounts differed on whether the ground element was an Israeli special force or an Israel-linked militia, and whether the objective was an abduction or an attempted killing. Reported strike and Palestinian casualty totals also varied and were not independently confirmed.
