The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Thursday that it had killed מחמד מחסן נמר יאזגי, a commander in Hamas's Shati Battalion, in Gaza earlier this week. According to the IDF spokesperson, יאזגי was involved during the war in holding three Israeli hostages: אמילי דמארי, רומי גונן, and מתן אנגרסט, in the Gaza City area. The military stated that יאזגי was involved in holding hostages in the Gaza City brigade area throughout the war, including these three whose names were cleared for publication.
In a separate strike on Tuesday in the Daraj Tufah area of Gaza City, the IDF eliminated מוחמד פוזי מוחמד עווד גמל, a terrorist in Hamas's military wing. The IDF reported that both terrorists had recently been involved in advancing terror operations against IDF forces and Israeli civilians, and worked to restore Hamas's capabilities in the Strip, systematically violating the ceasefire.
The decision to eliminate the two was made due to the threat they posed, and the strikes were carried out from the air. The IDF stated that its forces in the Southern Command remain deployed in the area according to the existing agreement and will continue to act to remove any immediate threats.
