The Israeli military announces that it struck and killed more than 10 terror operatives in the Gaza Strip over the past week, including some who participated in the October 7 onslaught.
Additionally, the IDF says it bombed a weapons production site in Gaza this week.
According to the military, among terror operatives killed in strikes this week are:
Muhammad Atta Zaki Qishawi, identified by the IDF as a member of Hamas’s elite Nukhba Force who invaded Israel on October 7, 2023.
Ali Naim Ayesh Abu Osai, a member of the Saif al-Islam terror faction, whom the IDF says was involved in manufacturing weapons for Hamas. The workshop, belonging to Hamas’s weapons production headquarters, was destroyed in a strike, according to the military.
Hani Ibrahim Said Khudari, identified by the military as a commander of a supply platoon in Hamas’s Sabra Battalion in Gaza City, who also infiltrated Israeli territory during the October 7 onslaught.
The army says the operatives were all advancing attacks on troops and Israeli civilians and acted to restore Hamas’s capabilities, “in systematic violation of the ceasefire.”
