The IDF said a strike in Jabalia on Saturday killed Abd al-Fatah Abu al-Eish, a commander in Hamas’s Nukhba force who invaded Israel during the October 7 massacre. Raed Adel Mohammed Alyan, an operative in Hamas’s military wing, was also killed in the strike. According to the IDF, both men had recently advanced attacks against Israeli troops and civilians and worked to restore Hamas capabilities, actions it described as systematic violations of the ceasefire. The military said Southern Command forces remain deployed according to the agreement and carried out the strike to remove the threat.
