The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Tuesday that its forces had killed five senior terrorists from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in southern Gaza over the past 24 hours. According to the IDF Spokesperson's Unit, the operatives were advancing terror plots against IDF forces and Israeli civilians and systematically violating the ceasefire.
In an airstrike on Sunday in the Khan Yunis area, the IDF targeted a meeting of three PIJ operatives involved in the group's military wing. An Air Force aircraft struck the building where the meeting was taking place, eliminating the terrorists as they convened to advance terror plans against IDF forces. The deceased were identified as Muhammad Abu Hajjaj, an engineering operative; Yusuf Abu Razek, a squad deputy leader; and Abd al-Hamid Jadallah, an operative in the organization's rocket array.
In a separate strike on Monday in southern Gaza, the IDF eliminated two Nukhba terrorists from Hamas's Rafah brigade. These operatives were identified as Salah al-Din Iyad Abd al-Hamid and Azz al-Din Iyad Diab Barhoum.
The IDF emphasized that the eliminated terrorists had recently been working to restore the military capabilities of Hamas and PIJ, in systematic violation of the ceasefire. The strikes were carried out from the air to remove an immediate threat. Security sources stated that meticulous measures were taken prior to the strikes to minimize harm to uninvolved civilians, including the use of precision munitions and aerial surveillance.
IDF forces in the Southern Command are deployed in the area according to the agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threats.
