The Israel Defense Forces announced Wednesday that it killed two Hamas Nukhba Force commanders in a precision airstrike in northern Gaza overnight. The military identified the two as Ali Shamlakh, a deputy Nukhba company commander, and Nasser Louh, a cell commander in Hamas's Sabra Battalion. The IDF said both were advancing attacks on Israeli troops and civilians and were targeted in a precise strike.
The operation is part of a broader IDF campaign targeting the Nukhba Force, the elite Hamas unit that led the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. The Zioneer has reported on multiple similar strikes in recent weeks, including the killing of a Nukhba cell commander in central Gaza on June 15 and a Nukhba platoon commander on July 5. The military continues to describe these operations as precision strikes against immediate threats, though details on civilian casualties or broader context are not provided in this announcement.
