Joint IDF and ISA announcement:

Assessment

Two senior Hamas operatives were eliminated in separate strikes in northern and southern Gaza over consecutive days. The first was a Nukhba cell commander who had been actively orchestrating attacks on Israeli forces. The second was a Military Intelligence commander gathering data to direct operations against troops. The IDF framed both as immediate threats, noting that precision munitions and surveillance were used to reduce civilian harm. The strikes occurred while Israeli forces remain deployed under the ceasefire agreement, signaling that operational targeting continues despite the truce.
