IDF Eliminates Two Hamas Commanders Who Threatened Gaza Troops

The IDF said at 11:06 IDT that two precise strikes in Gaza last week eliminated Muhammad Najib Ashour, a Nukhba platoon commander in Hamas's military wing, and Tamer Saeed Abu Nakhal, a Hamas cell commander. The military said both terrorists were advancing attack plans against IDF troops and posed an immediate threat to soldiers. The IDF said it used precise munitions and aerial surveillance to reduce civilian harm before the strikes. The announcement matters because Hamas keeps trying to rebuild tactical cells even under the ceasefire framework, and Israel must remove immediate threats before they hit its soldiers.
