The IDF says it struck and killed two Hamas operatives who posed threats to troops in the Gaza Strip earlier today.

A strike in central Gaza killed Saleh Khalifa, a cell commander in Hamas’s Nuseirat Battalion, and a strike in the Strip’s north killed Muhammad al-Habil, a cell commander in Hamas’s West Jabalia Battalion, according to the military.

The IDF says the pair had been planning attacks on troops, “posed an imminent threat,” and were then killed in “precise strikes.”
