The commander of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s naval forces in the Gaza City region, Anas Murad, was killed in a recent drone strike, the IDF says.

In a separate drone strike, the IDF says it killed Ahmed al-Masri, an Islamic Jihad member who participated in the October 7 onslaught.

The IDF says Al-Masri was also responsible for the firing of a large number of rockets from Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood at communities in southern Israel.
