The IDF says it killed three terror operatives yesterday in separate Gaza City strikes, including two members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and a Hamas company commander.

The military identifies the Islamic Jihad members as Hassam Walid Hassan Abu al-Ata, a commander in the group’s rocket unit, and Magdi Moien Yousef al-Ayoubi, an operative in the group’s military wing, both killed in Gaza City.

Muhammad Aja, a company commander in Hamas’s military wing, was also killed in the Gaza City coastal neighborhood of al-Furqan.

The IDF says the three had recently “advanced attacks against IDF troops and operated to restore the terrorist organizations’ capabilities,” in violation of the ceasefire agreement.
