The IDF says it struck a cell of armed Hamas operatives in the Gaza Strip yesterday, two of whom it says were terrorists who participated in the October 7, 2023, onslaught.
According to the military, troops had identified the gunmen preparing to carry out an attack on Israeli forces in Gaza. The operatives were then targeted in a strike and killed, "to remove the threat," it says.
The IDF says it can now confirm that among the gunmen were Rami Ibrahim Harb and Mutaeb Ziyad Darah, members of Hamas's elite Nukhba Force, who invaded Israel during the October 7 onslaught.
The military identifies two others as Abd Muhammad Amasi, a member of the Popular Resistance Committees, and Tawfiq Khaldi, a Hamas operative.
Three more Hamas members were also killed in the strike, the army adds.
