IDF Discloses Killing Three Hamas and Islamic Jihad Terrorists in Gaza

The IDF disclosed on Friday that aerial strikes on Thursday killed three Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists in Gaza. It identified Hassam Walid Hassan Abu Al-Ata, a commander in Islamic Jihad's rocket department, and Magdi Moein Yousef Al-Ayoubi, a member of the group's military wing, as killed in Gaza City. Muhammad Aja, a Hamas company commander, was killed in the Al-Furqan area. The military said the three had recently advanced attacks against Israeli forces and sought to rebuild their organizations' capabilities, systematically violating the ceasefire agreement. Southern Command forces remain deployed under the agreement, the IDF said.
