The Israeli Air Force conducted two strikes in the Gaza Strip on November 1, 2026, targeting groups of militants. The first strike occurred near Khan Yunis in the al-Mawasi area, where a group of militants had reportedly gathered. Gaza sources claim five militants were killed in this strike. A second strike in the northern Gaza City area reportedly killed three additional militants, with Gaza reporting six others wounded. The IDF confirmed the two strikes but has not yet confirmed the number of casualties or their identities. Gaza media also reported strikes in the Nasser neighborhood of northern Gaza City, which the IDF did not confirm.
According to security assessments, Israel conducts daily targeted killings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives in Gaza, estimated at three to four per day. Arab media reports suggest that the IDF uses phone warnings for lower or mid-level operatives, while senior figures are targeted without prior notice. However, Israeli security officials have denied making such warning calls, stating that both the IDF and Shin Bet do not perform these calls. Security officials emphasized that operations are continuously reviewed to prevent civilian casualties, with minimizing harm to non-combatants being a critical consideration in mission execution.
