The IDF and Shin Bet announced Thursday that a strike in the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, July 21, killed three Hamas operatives. The primary target was Abdallah Jahja, a member of Hamas's naval force who infiltrated Israeli territory during the October 7 massacre and was actively advancing maritime terror plots against Israeli forces and civilians.
The two other operatives killed were Muhammad Al-Hawari, a cell commander in the Zeitoun Battalion, and Sabhi Saqallah, an observation operative in the same battalion. The joint statement said the strike was conducted to remove the threat.
The elimination was reported by The Zioneer earlier Thursday, with the strike date now confirmed as Tuesday. The operation is part of the continued IDF and Shin Bet campaign to target Hamas operatives who participated in the October 7 attack and remain a threat.
