The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) eliminated Ihab Jamil Abu Takia, a squad commander in Hamas's military wing, in the Nuseirat area on Thursday. Abu Takia was involved in holding numerous hostages at the beginning of the war, including Raya Rotem, Hila Rotem Shoshani, Emily Hand, Ohad Ben Ami, Noa Argamani, Andrey Kozlov, Shlomi Ziv, Almog Meir Jan, Maxim Harkin, Yosef Haim Ohana, Segev Kalfon, and Alexander Lobanov (deceased).

Also killed in the strike was Ibrahim Ghayad Muhammad Abu Ashiba, a platoon commander in Hamas's military wing. The article states that these militants had been advancing terror tactics against IDF forces and Israeli civilians and working to restore Hamas's capabilities, systematically violating the ceasefire.

The militants were eliminated in an aerial attack aimed at removing the threat they posed. IDF forces in the Southern Command are deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue to operate to remove all threats.
