The IDF eliminated two Hamas terrorists in a strike carried out two days ago, including a commander in the terror group’s Gaza City Brigade.

The IDF identified the senior terrorist as Talal Mustafa Saleh Badawi, a commander in the military security department of Hamas’ Gaza City Brigade. A second Hamas terrorist, Momo Said Mohammed Hawari, was also eliminated in the strike.

According to the IDF, the two terrorists had recently been advancing terror attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians.

The military said they were also working to rebuild Hamas’ capabilities while systematically violating the ceasefire. The strike was carried out to eliminate an immediate threat.

IDF Southern Command troops remain deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue operating to eliminate similar threats, the military said.
