Three terror operatives who were advancing attacks on Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip were killed in recent strikes, the military announces.

One strike in Gaza City yesterday killed Alaa Imad Khamis Tarams, a member of the Army of Islam terror group, and Hassan Ibrahim Shehadeh Qahman, a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, according to the IDF.

A separate strike last week in the Strip’s north killed Ahmad Khudar, a commander in Hamas’s Jabalia Battalion, the military says.

The IDF justifies the strikes amid the ceasefire by saying that the three terror operatives were advancing attacks, and they were “eliminated in order to remove the threat.”
