The IDF confirmed Tuesday evening that it carried out airstrikes targeting Hamas commanders in northern Gaza. In the Shati area, the military struck commanders who were planning attacks on Israeli troops; Gaza sources said six people were killed. In the Beit Lahiya area, the strikes eliminated a company commander and three platoon commanders, all of whom participated in the October 7, 2023 massacre. The operation extends the IDF's focused campaign against mid-level Hamas commanders, particularly those involved in the original invasion. As The Zioneer has reported, the military has systematically targeted field commanders and Nukhba operatives since the war began, aiming to erode Hamas's tactical command structure.
