The IDF says two Hamas operatives “who posed an immediate threat” were killed in separate strikes in the Gaza Strip over the past day.

The first strike in central Gaza yesterday killed Ayman Housna, a Hamas operative who the military says was involved in manufacturing and repairing weapons for the terror group.

The second strike, carried out earlier today, killed Anas Khaled Safi, a Hamas operative who the IDF says was planning an “imminent” attack on troops.

“Both terrorists posed an immediate threat to the troops and were eliminated in precise aerial strikes,” the military says.
