IDF: A short while ago, with the direction of IDF and ISA intelligence, the IAF conducted a precise strike on terrorists who were operating inside a Hamas command and control center in the northern Gaza Strip. The command and control center, which was embedded inside a compound that previously served as the “Amr Ibn al-As” School, was used by Hamas terrorists to plan and carry out terrorist attacks against IDF troops and the State of Israel.
Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance and additional intelligence.
The Hamas terrorist organization systematically violates international law by operating from inside civilian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip and exploiting the Gazan civilian population for its terrorist activities. The IDF will continue to operate against the Hamas terrorist organization in defense of the State of Israel.
Joint IDF and ISA announcement:
The IDF and ISA eliminated two Islamic Jihad battalion commanders
On Thursday, based on IDF and ISA intelligence, IAF aircraft conducted a precise strike on a command and control center used by Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists, which was embedded inside the Humanitarian Area in Deir al-Balah. The strike was conducted to remove an immediate threat in the area.
A number of terrorists were eliminated in the strike, including:
The terrorist Abdallah Khatib, commander of the Islamic Jihad’s Southern Deir al-Balah Battalion, who commanded the terrorist activity of the battalion during the October 7th Massacre in southern Israel. He also advanced and carried out terror attacks against the State of Israel, including anti-tank missile and mortar launches.
In addition, the terrorist Hatem Abu Aljidian, commander of the Islamic Jihad’s Eastern Deir al-Balah Battalion, was eliminated. The terrorist advanced and carried out attacks against IDF troops throughout the war.
Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence.
The terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip continue to systematically abuse civilian and humanitarian infrastructure, including the designated Humanitarian Area, to carry out terrorist activity against the State of Israel.
