The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency announced the elimination of two senior Hamas commanders in the Gaza Strip. Muhammad Halawa, a commander in Hamas's military intelligence, was killed in an airstrike in the Gaza City area late last week. Ahmed Abu-Ouda, an engineering commander in the organization's military wing, was eliminated in a separate strike last Thursday.

The IDF and Shin Bet stated that both commanders were involved in advancing terror operations against IDF forces and Israeli civilians, as well as efforts to restore the organization's military capabilities. The military claims their activities, particularly in recent times, were conducted in systematic violation of the ceasefire.

Halawa served as a commander in the military intelligence array of Hamas's military wing, while Abu-Ouda was responsible for engineering within the same wing. Both were active throughout the war, with increased efforts recently to promote terror plans and rebuild Hamas's capacities.
