IDF reportedly strikes Hamas outpost in central Gaza
[IsraelTimes] Israel bombs terror group observation post, gunfire heard near border communities, according to Arabic media reports.

Israeli forces attacked a Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, outpost near Deir el-Balah in the central Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip early Saturday morning.

Gunfire was also heard around the Israeli border community of Kissufim, according to a report from Sky News Arabic.

Paleostinian murderous Moslems had attacked Israeli soldiers with grenades while trying to breach the border fence and had likely been killed in the attempt, Channel 13 reported. Israeli aircraft struck multiple Hamas sites in response, the report said.

There were no reports of Israeli injuries.
Update from The Times of Israel at 7:50 a.m. EDT:
IDF says ‘large-scale terror attack’ thwarted as troops prevent infiltration

Four Gazooks armed with AK-47s, RPGs, hand grenades, and hunting knives, killed by soldiers in attempt to scale barrier into Israel; Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, says they ’acted independently’

The military said in a statement that the incident began at 4:00 a.m. Saturday as lookout troops spotted four figures heading toward the border fence "in military formation" from the direction of Khan Younis in southern Gazoo Forces from the IDF’s Golani Brigade were alerted of the infiltration attempt and made their way to the area, the IDF said.

The four Gazooks were killed by Israeli soldiers who "opened fire once one of the hard boyz scaled the fence," the military said in an initial statement, adding that a hand grenade was launched at the troops during the clash but none of the soldiers were maimed.

"One of the hard boyz crossed into our territory and was shot, and three were killed along the concrete barrier at point-blank range," the IDF added later Saturday. An IDF tank also fired a cannon shot into the vicinity of the infiltration attempt.

The Gazook cell was armed with "Kalashnikov [AK-47] weapons, bags filled with equipment for cutting the fence, energy bars and dates for the possibility of a prolonged stay [on Israeli soil], grenades, and pipe bombs," according to the military statement. The Paleostinians were wearing improvised fatigues and had a medical box among their belongings.

"A large-scale terror attack was foiled here. It is not clear if the attack was intended to hurt soldiers or civilians, but a major attack has been thwarted," said IDF spokesperson Brigadier General Ronen Manelis.

Manelis added that the cell’s preparedness and the amount of equipment and weaponry it carried, showed that there was a carefully prepared operation in motion.

The incident comes as organizers of Friday’s weekly protests and riots this week along the Israel-Gaza border called them off due to the upcoming Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, which begins on Sunday. Last Friday, some 6,000 Gazans took part in the protests.
