The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency announced the elimination of six terrorists from Gaza-based terror organizations during the past week. The operations targeted individuals involved in advancing terror plots against Israeli forces and civilians, and in rebuilding terror capabilities, in violation of the ceasefire.

Two of the strikes occurred earlier this week in the Khan Younis area. One targeted Mahmoud Jihad Muhammad Kafa, identified as a sniper cell leader in Hamas's military wing. The other eliminated Asaad Suleiman Salman Kashta, a terrorist from the Islamic Army who was involved in smuggling into Gaza.

An additional strike in the Khan Younis area earlier in the week eliminated four terrorists from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). These included Mohammed Zakaria Al Gamal, a cell leader in Hamas's military wing; Mohammed Amin Al Nams, a terrorist in Hamas's military wing; Shaher Mohammed Zarab, a Nukhba company commander in Hamas's military wing; and Mohammed Ali Abu Shaar, a sniper operative in PIJ.

The IDF and Shin Bet stated the air strikes were conducted to neutralize the threat posed by these operatives. Security forces remain deployed in the area and will continue to act to remove any threats.
