The IDF announces that two more Hamas commanders were killed in airstrikes in the Gaza Strip this week.
One strike on Wednesday in northern Gaza killed Khalil Jamal Khalil Manna, whom the IDF identifies as a commander in Hamas’s weapons production division.
The military says Manna was involved in efforts to restore Hamas’s capabilities amid the ceasefire.
A separate strike yesterday killed Osama Walid Deeb Muhareb, identified by the military as a company commander in Hamas’s Nuseirat Battalion.
Recently, Muhareb “stored explosive devices that were intended to be used against IDF troops,” the military says.
Both operatives had “posed a threat” to IDF troops and were therefore targeted in strikes.
The IDF in recent months has ramped up strikes on terror operatives in Gaza, saying they posed a threat to Israeli forces.
