The source reports that an Israeli strike on a jeep in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, eliminated two operatives. The same report states that the total number of eliminated operatives in the Gaza Strip since midnight stands at 12. The IDF has not commented.
A source reports that the total number of terror operatives eliminated in the Gaza Strip since midnight stands at 12, including the two operatives killed in a targeted strike on a jeep in Deir al-Balah earlier Sunday. The jeep strike was first reported at 14:04 Jerusalem, when initial accounts described a drone strike near the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital that left two seriously wounded. Within the same hour, reports upgraded the injured to confirmed fatalities, and by version 4 of the thread, the two were identified as Hamas operatives, with the strike occurring on Salah al-Din Street near the industrial zone north of Deir al-Balah.
The Zioneer tracked the jeep strike across four updates, all published at 14:04 Jerusalem. The progression from wounded to eliminated to confirmed Hamas operatives was reported by the same source. Separately, at 15:06 Jerusalem, security analyst Yair Goldblatt estimated that approximately 12 operatives had been eliminated in IDF strikes across Gaza since the start of Sunday. The new report's figure of 12 since midnight aligns with that estimate, now providing a more precise timeframe and a specific strike event.
As The Zioneer reported on Sunday, IDF strikes in the Deir al-Balah area have continued in recent days, including a strike on Hamas underground infrastructure after the terror group was identified attempting to restore a tunnel in violation of the ceasefire. The jeep strike occurred in the same central Gaza location.
The IDF has not commented on the reports. The figures come from a single unverified source, and the identities of the other ten operatives reportedly eliminated since midnight have not been disclosed. The total remains unconfirmed by independent channels.
