The IDF announced Sunday that it eliminated two Hamas operatives in separate strikes in northern Gaza last Tuesday. The military identified the targets as Fares Al-Masri, a department head in Hamas's weapons production headquarters, and Muhammad Abu Shakyan, a member of the elite Nukhba force. According to the IDF, both operatives were actively advancing terrorist plots against Israeli forces and civilians, in violation of the ceasefire agreement.
The strikes were carried out with precision munitions and aerial surveillance to mitigate civilian harm, the IDF said. The military's Southern Command remains deployed in the area in accordance with the ceasefire terms and will continue operations to remove any immediate threats.
This is the latest in a series of IDF operations targeting Hamas efforts to rebuild its military capabilities. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the military has emphasized that the ceasefire does not preclude the elimination of imminent threats.
