The Israeli military announced it has eliminated Ahmed Mohammed Ahmed Baraka in Gaza, identifying him as a Hamas Nukhba force member involved in the October 7th attack on Kibbutz Nir Oz. According to the IDF, Baraka participated in the abduction of civilians, including Alex Dancyg, who died in captivity. The military also stated that Baraka was instrumental in holding several hostages in southern Gaza during the war, including soldier Nimrod Cohen.

In a separate strike last Friday in northern Gaza, two other Hamas military wing operatives, Omar Awadallah and Moataz Mahmoud Mohammed al-Namar, were killed. The IDF described Awadallah as a Nukhba platoon commander and al-Namar as a member of the same unit. The military claims these individuals were preparing attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians and were working to restore Hamas's military capabilities, thereby violating a ceasefire.

The IDF stated that measures were taken to minimize civilian risk during the operations, including the use of precision munitions and aerial surveillance.
