The Israeli military said Sunday it had launched an airstrike on a group of Palestinians suspected of trying to plant a bomb on the Gazan border with Israel, Sputnik reported.
"Three Palestinians approached the security fence in the southern Gaza Strip. They attempted to damage it, while apparently trying to plant an explosive device nearby," the Israel Defense Force said.
An Israeli aerial vehicle "opened fire in their direction," the statement read. It did not specify if there were any casualties, but local media reported all three alleged bombers were killed in the strike.
