- Defense Minister ordered IDF on high alert for Hamas attacks.
- Multiple strikes reported in Khan Younis and Gaza City.
- One killed and one injured in a separate Gaza City strike.
Sources in the Gaza Strip reported Tuesday the killing of Muhammad al-Yaziji, known as Abu Mahsen, an area commander in Hamas's military wing. He was targeted in a drone strike in western Gaza City, near Al-Shifa Hospital. This incident occurs as Defense Minister Israel Katz has instructed the IDF to increase alertness ahead of Wednesday, due to intelligence indicating Hamas's intentions to attack forces in the Strip.
Earlier on Tuesday, reports emerged from Gaza of a series of strikes in central Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, as well as attacks in central Gaza City in the north. A drone strike targeting an electric bicycle rider on Omar al-Mukhtar Street in central Gaza City earlier resulted in one fatality and one injury.
The reports of strikes and the alleged assassination come amid heightened tensions and a directive from the Defense Minister to bolster IDF readiness.
