The combat team, in coordination with the Israeli Air Force, attacked and killed several of the terrorists. Searches for additional attackers are still underway. No Israeli forces were injured in the incident.
Hamas attempts raid on army post in Gaza City outskirts; IDF says 3 gunmen killed
[IsraelTimes] Five operatives emerge from tunnel, approach encampment before being struck by air force; military scanning for 2 who fled.
Hamas
..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...operatives tried to raid an Israel Defense Forces position on the southern outskirts of 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 a rusty iron fist by Hamas with 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

disproportionate response...
City on Wednesday, the military said, the latest in a series of recent attempts by the group to attack army sites in the Strip.
The incident took place at an army encampment near the Netzarim Corridor area of central Gaza, south of Gaza City, where troops of the Golani Brigade’s reconnaissance unit were stationed.
Five Hamas button men emerged from a tunnel and approached the post, according to preliminary findings by the military.
The IDF said the troops, with air support from the Israeli Air Force, struck and killed at least three of the button men. Scans were being carried out to locate the other two operatives, who, according to an initial IDF probe, likely fled back into the tunnel.
The military said no soldiers were maimed in the incident. It also published images showing weapons left behind by some of the button men.
Defense Minister Israel Katz had visited troops in Gaza City’s Sabra neighborhood shortly before Hamas launched an attack on the nearby army position.
Katz’s office said the defense minister was briefed by commanders on the IDF’s activities in the area and he "praised them for their powerful actions, which created the conditions for negotiations to secure the release of all the hostages and the achievement of the war’s objectives."
The attack came amid ongoing indirect ceasefire talks in Egypt between Israel and Hamas. Both Paleostinian and Israeli sources said Wednesday that the sides are close to inking a deal on ending the war in Gaza.
Hamas in recent weeks have stepped up its attacks on army encampments in Gaza. Military officials believe the terror group is seeking to capture soldiers or cause heavy casualties to the IDF to influence the talks.
On October 2, during Yom Kippur, a Hamas gunman managed to breach an army post in Israel’s buffer zone in central Gaza — some 800 meters from the Israeli border — and open fire on troops, the IDF said. After a shootout with the soldiers at the post, the gunman was killed. An officer was seriously maimed, and two other troops, including a reservist, were lightly injured in the battle, according to the military.
Days earlier, on September 30, a Hamas gunman who approached an Israeli army position in Gaza City was killed by troops, the military said.
A day prior, on September 29, Hamas made two attempts to raid an army encampment in Gaza City. In the first attempt, two button men were identified approaching the position and were killed in a dronezap, the IDF said.
An hour later, a cell of five Hamas operatives managed to breach the encampment and set off two bombs against a tank. Troops at the encampment exchanged fire with the button men, killing at least two of them — one by tank shelling and one in a close-quarters shootout, according to the IDF. The attack left five soldiers seriously injured and six others lightly hurt.
