The IDF said it eliminated four Hamas operatives in the northern Gaza Strip over the past week, including anti-tank gunners and a platoon commander, who were advancing attacks against Israeli troops. The military also dismantled launch shafts and launchers used by Hamas in a strike two days ago, employing precision munitions and advance warnings to mitigate civilian harm.
The IDF announced the elimination of four Hamas operatives in the northern Gaza Strip over the past week, in a series of strikes targeting mid-level military wing personnel who had been advancing attacks against Israeli forces operating in the area.
The named operatives include: - **Wael Mahmoud Ali Labad** – Anti-tank operative in Hamas’ military wing. - **Muaz Mohammad Hassan Ahmad** – Anti-tank operative in Hamas’ military wing. - **Sameh Abu Kamil** – Platoon commander in Hamas’ military wing. - **Akram Ashraf Hamad Labad** – Sniper operative in Hamas' military wing.
In a separate operation two days ago (Monday), the IDF struck and dismantled Hamas launch shafts and launchers. The military said the infrastructure was being used by Hamas to advance terror attacks against both IDF troops and Israeli civilians. Steps were taken to reduce civilian harm, including advance warnings, precision munitions, and aerial surveillance. The strikes were carried out under the Southern Command, which continues to enforce the ceasefire agreement and remove immediate threats.
The operation extends a pattern of targeted eliminations and infrastructure dismantling by the IDF in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect. As The Zioneer reported, similar strikes in recent weeks have eliminated Hamas and Islamic Jihad commanders, finance operatives, and weapons depots — all described by the military as immediate threats to Israeli forces and civilians.
