The Israel Defense Forces says it has killed a member of Hamas’s naval commando unit in a strike in the Gaza Strip this evening.

The military says fighter jets and Navy vessels carried out strikes against a Hamas command center in Gaza, killing Mamdouh Shalabiya.

According to the IDF, Shalabiya “worked to carry out attacks from the sea.”

The IDF says it also hit a number of other targets belonging to Hamas this evening.

The military publishes footage of the strikes.
