The IDF said it carried out an airstrike on a company commander in Hamas's military wing in Khan Younis after intelligence indicated he was planning attacks against Israeli troops in Gaza. The military said the operation was conducted to remove an immediate threat to forces deployed in the area. It did not identify the commander or announce the outcome of the strike in its initial statement. The IDF said Southern Command troops remain positioned in accordance with the current agreement and will continue acting against immediate threats to Israeli forces.
