Israeli forces have conducted targeted strikes in Gaza and operations in the Hebron area, eliminating key Hamas operatives and uncovering a suspicious underground structure. On Saturday, an airstrike in Gaza City killed Muhammad Halawa, a commander in Hamas's military intelligence. The previous Thursday, Ahmed Zahir Fuad Abu-Uda, who played a significant role in Hamas's sapper unit, was eliminated in the Gaza Strip. These operatives were reportedly advancing terror plans against Israeli military and civilians and working to restore Hamas's capabilities, systematically violating the ceasefire.

During a counter-terrorism operation in Hebron following a deadly attack that claimed the lives of two soldiers, Ron Roitman and Yuval Solem, forces discovered an underground cavity near the home of one of the militants involved. Preliminary findings suggest it is a subterranean chamber approximately 15 meters deep and 75 centimeters wide, with no apparent branches or external openings. Specialists are currently examining the site, which is located within Hebron city and not near any Israeli settlement. An electronic device was found inside and is under further investigation.

Defense officials view this discovery with concern, seeing it as an attempt by militants in Judea and Samaria to establish underground infrastructure, even without a complex tunnel system. Meanwhile, concerns persist regarding tunnels in Gaza. On Sunday, Israeli forces identified three militants emerging from a tunnel shaft in the Khan Yunis area, west of the "yellow line" controlled by the IDF. An airstrike targeted the shaft and the militants, with hits confirmed. Secondary explosions were observed, indicating the presence of explosives within the shaft.
