According to the military, the strike on Saturday in central Gaza killed Muhammad Abu Afash, chief of engineering in the Islamic Jihad; Farhat Harara, the group’s deputy head of engineering; and Abdullah Qadoum, the commander of Islamic Jihad’s anti-tank unit in northern Gaza.
The IDF says that recently, the three advanced attacks on troops and Israel, “in violation of the ceasefire agreement.”
