The IDF struck a group of terrorists who were attending the funeral of a militant killed in Gaza last night, according to security journalist Yair Goldblatt. The strike in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip killed approximately six terrorists and wounded several others critically. Six of the killed have been identified: Hammam Abu Brik, Bilal Hatthat, Jamil Abu Dalal, Saleh al-Qatrawi, Abida Ali Sayedm, and Muhammad Hamdona.
The IDF struck a group of terrorists attending a funeral in Nuseirat camp on Friday, with the latest reports confirming the identities of six operatives killed. The strike, reported at 17:19 Jerusalem by security journalist Yair Goldblatt, killed approximately six and critically wounded several others. The six have been identified as Hammam Abu Brik, Bilal Hatthat, Jamil Abu Dalal, Saleh al-Qatrawi, Abida Ali Sayedm, and Muhammad Hamdona — confirming two additional names beyond earlier reports.
The reports evolved over the past hour. At 16:57 Jerusalem, Palestinian sources reported an IAF strike in Nuseirat with no details. Within minutes, a security source reported that five people were killed, described as "eliminated" — a term indicating targeted militant operatives. Shortly after, the same source updated the toll to six killed and named four of them: Hammam Abu Brik, Bilal Hatthat, Jamil Abu Dalal, and Saleh al-Qatrawi. At 17:18 Jerusalem, the same four names were reported by Yair Goldblatt. Minutes later, at 17:19, the full list of six was confirmed.
The strike targeted a gathering at a funeral for a militant killed in Gaza last night, indicating the IDF had real-time intelligence. Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip has been a frequent target of IDF operations, as The Zioneer has reported on multiple occasions, including strikes on June 15 and July 9 that killed at least one and two people respectively. The use of the term "eliminated" in the initial reports suggested the target was a militant cell, later confirmed by the naming of operatives.
The IDF has not officially commented on the strike. The reports come from a security-affiliated source and journalist, not from an official military statement. The condition of the wounded and whether any additional casualties occurred remain unclear.
