The Israeli Air Force conducted airstrikes across the northern, central, and southern Gaza Strip over the past two days, the IDF said Monday evening. The military reported that the strikes killed 54 people and targeted six members of Hamas's Nukhba elite force who were advancing to attack Israeli soldiers and civilians.
Hamas condemned the operation, accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of deliberately escalating to disrupt ceasefire understandings reached with mediators, including the U.S. administration. The group called on guarantors of the ceasefire to intervene.
The strikes occurred against the backdrop of reported progress in ceasefire negotiations. The IDF has previously targeted Nukhba operatives; in July, the military eliminated a Nukhba cell commander who participated in the October 7 infiltration of the Re'im base, as The Zioneer reported.
