Two Hamas commanders in the terror group’s Nukhba Force were killed in an Israeli strike in the northern Gaza Strip last night, the military announces.
The IDF says the strike killed Ali Shamlakh, a deputy Nukhba company commander, who was advancing attacks on troops and Israeli civilians, and Nasser Louh, a Nukhba cell commander in Hamas’s Sabra Battalion.
“The terrorists posed an immediate threat to our forces operating in the area and were eliminated in a precise aerial strike,” the military adds.
