  • IDF and Shin Bet eliminated Hamas intelligence commander Muhammad Halawa in Gaza City.
  • Hamas engineering commander Ahmed Zehir Fuad Abu-Ouda was killed in a strike last week.
  • The operatives were targeted from the air to neutralize threats they posed.
  • Hamas operatives have advanced terror plans and violated ceasefires, according to the IDF and Shin Bet.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency announced the elimination of two senior Hamas operatives in Gaza. The joint statement detailed that on Thursday, the IDF and Shin Bet targeted Muhammad Halawa, identified as a commander in the military wing's intelligence array, in the Gaza City area of southern Gaza.

In a separate operation last week, on Thursday, the IDF targeted and eliminated Ahmed Zehir Fuad Abu-Ouda, described as an engineering commander within Hamas's military wing. Both strikes were conducted from the air with the stated aim of removing the threat posed by the operatives.

The announcement noted that Hamas operatives have been advancing terror plans against IDF forces and Israeli civilians throughout the ongoing conflict, particularly recently. These actions, the statement added, include efforts to restore Hamas's capabilities and systematic violations of the ceasefire. Security forces remain deployed in the area and will continue to operate to neutralize threats.
