The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) eliminated two Hamas commanders during strikes on the Gaza Strip — according to them, they participated in hostilities against the Israeli military.
This was reported by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The commander of the Nuhba unit Abd al-Rahman al-Karim Ziyada was killed on June 24 during a strike on the Al-Shati refugee camp area. The Israeli military claims that he participated in the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
Also on the 24th, during a separate strike in the Khan Yunis area, the head of the Hamas tunnel unit Kamal Najjar was eliminated.
Israel said both commanders posed a threat to its military, and the strikes used precision munitions and aerial surveillance to reduce risks to civilians.
- On October 7, 2023, Hamas militants launched a massive rocket attack on southern and central Israel, invading the country and killing more than 1 200 people.
- They also seized more than 250 hostages and took them to Gaza, some of whom were later killed. Israel then launched a counter-terrorism operation against the militants.
