IDF Conducts First Gaza Strike Approved by Chief of Staff Since Targeted Killings Halted
The Israel Defense Forces carried out an airstrike in Beit Lahia, Gaza, killing a Hamas operative, with authorization from Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir. This marks the first Gaza strike approved by the Chief of Staff since targeted killings were paused under political directives following a peace roadmap published by the "Peace Council" aimed at an agreement with Hamas. The halt in targeted operations was ordered by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, reportedly under American pressure. The eliminated operative was the leader of a cell planning attacks against IDF forces in the Gaza Strip. The military stated the strike was conducted to neutralize an immediate threat.
