The IDF eliminated two Hamas terrorists overnight after troops identified them leaving Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, with one planting explosive devices near the Yellow Line to target Israeli forces, the military said.

According to the IDF, the explosives had been brought out of the hospital. Israeli forces struck the terrorists shortly after identifying the threat, killing both.

One of those eliminated was identified as Muhammad Tamous, a sniper in Hamas’s military wing who also worked for Gaza’s civil defense service, according to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.

The military said the terrorists had recently been advancing attacks from inside the hospital and working to rebuild Hamas’s capabilities, in what it described as systematic violations of the ceasefire agreement.

The IDF accused Hamas of continuing to exploit hospitals and medical infrastructure for terrorist activity in violation of international law.

According to the military, Hamas is turning facilities intended to provide civilian medical care into bases for planning attacks and restoring its military capabilities, endangering the civilian population.

The operation follows a series of strikes against Hamas commanders in recent months. At the end of September, Muhammad Hamad Muhammad Gabain, a commander in Hamas’s military wing who was involved in holding nine Israeli hostages, was eliminated.

The IDF said Southern Command forces remain deployed in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue acting to remove immediate threats.

Israeli security assessments indicate that while Hamas has sustained severe blows during the fighting in Gaza, its military and organizational capabilities have not been eliminated.
