The IDF says it struck and killed two Palestinian terror operatives in the Gaza Strip yesterday who were planning “imminent” attacks on troops.
In southern Gaza, the IDF killed Mahmoud Barim, a member of the Mujahideen Brigades terror group, who the military says had been carrying out surveillance on troops and “possessed a large amount of weaponry.
In northern Gaza, the IDF killed Ahmad Muhammad Saleh, a member of Hamas’s elite Nukhba Force, “who had advanced several terror attack plans against IDF troops,” the military says.
The IDF says the strike targeting Saleh also killed several more Hamas operatives.
“The terrorists posed a real threat to IDF troops and were eliminated in precise strikes,” the military adds.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
