The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Thursday that an airstrike earlier this week in the Gaza City area resulted in the elimination of Muhammad Mahsan Nimr Yazgi, a commander in Hamas's Shati Battalion. Intelligence indicates Yazgi was actively involved in holding Israeli hostages in the Gaza City brigade area throughout the war. Among the hostages held under his responsibility were Emily Damari, Romi Gonen, and Matan Angrest.

In a separate strike on Tuesday in the Zabra area, the IDF killed Muhammad Fuzi Muhammad Awad Gamal, another terrorist in Hamas's military wing who operated in the Daraj Tufah Battalion. The IDF stated that both eliminated terrorists had recently advanced terror plans against Israeli soldiers and civilians. They were also actively engaged in restoring Hamas's military capabilities, systematically violating the existing ceasefire in the Strip.

The airstrikes were conducted to neutralize the immediate threat posed by the individuals. The IDF emphasized that Southern Command forces remain deployed in the area according to the agreement and will act at all times to remove threats.
