Tonight, security analyst Yair Goldblatt released an image of Muhammad Salem Ahmed Darwish (Abu Wadi), identified as one of two operatives killed in the vehicle strike in Gaza City earlier this evening. The post described Darwish as eliminated, but did not provide details on his affiliation or the circumstances of the operation.
The thread began at 22:51 Jerusalem, when Goldblatt first shared footage from the scene of a strike in Gaza City, describing it as an elimination. Additional footage followed shortly after. Goldblatt then reported, citing Arab sources, that the two killed were identified as Samir Zakaria Abu Dalal (Abu Jabal) and Muhammad Darwish, both residents of the Nuseirat camp. The image of Darwish was released later in the evening. All reports originate from a single analyst; no official Israeli confirmation has been issued.
What remains open includes the affiliation of the operatives, the specific target of the strike, the party responsible for the operation, and the exact timing. No official confirmation from the IDF or other Israeli sources has been received.
