The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Wednesday that it conducted an airstrike in the Gaza City area, eliminating a Hamas operative identified as Amar Mahmoud Humad Sharafi. Sharafi held the position of company commander within Hamas's military wing.

The IDF stated that Sharafi was targeted to neutralize an immediate threat he posed. According to the military, he had recently been advancing terror plots against IDF forces and Israeli civilians and was involved in rebuilding Hamas's capabilities, systematically violating the ceasefire agreement.

Prior to the strike, the IDF reported that measures were taken to minimize civilian casualties, including the use of precision munitions and aerial surveillance. Forces under the Southern Command are deployed in the area and will continue to operate to remove immediate threats.
