🚨 IDF STRIKES HAMAS COMMAND CENTER IN NORTHERN GAZA
The IDF confirms it carried out a strike earlier today in the northern Gaza Strip.
According to the military, the target was a Hamas command center where armed terrorists were operating and preparing attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians.
The IDF says several armed Hamas operatives were killed.
Hamas’s interior ministry claimed earlier that three members of its security apparatus were killed in the strike.
Translation: Hamas calls them “officers.”
Israel calls them what they are: armed terrorists operating from a command center.

The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

City on Wednesday, a hospital and senior Hamas official said.
Reports of Azzam al-Hayya’s death came as Hamas leaders were in Cairo to discuss the future of the ceasefire agreement they reached with Israel in October, after two years of war sparked by the Hamas-led onslaught of October 7, 2023.
On Wednesday, al-Ahli Hospital and a security source said that a strike on Gaza City’s Daraj neighborhood that evening had killed one person and maimed 10 others, including the younger Hayya. He was confirmed dead Thursday by Shifa Hospital and Hamas official Basem Naim. Both al-Ahli and Shifa hospitals are in Gaza City.
Al-Ahli Hospital also said Wednesday that it received three people killed and several maimed in an Israeli dronezap on Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood, and health officials said another man was killed in a strike near southern Gaza’s Rafah on Wednesday, according to health officials.
The man killed in Rafah was identified in Arabic media as the head of Khan Younis-area drug enforcement in the Hamas police, with a rank equivalent to colonel.
On Thursday, Hamas also said three of its coppers were killed in an IDF strike on a "guard post belonging to a security headquarters" in western Gaza City, following Paleostinian media reports of an Israeli attack in the area.
The IDF later confirmed carrying out a strike in the northern Gaza Strip, saying it hit Hamas button men who posed a threat to Israeli troops.
The strike had targeted a Hamas command center "while armed
The IDF says several armed Hamas operatives were killed in the strike.
Separately, however, the military said that after an intelligence review, it could confirm that a Hamas terrorist whom it killed in Gaza last week had kidnapped Mia Schem during the October 7, 2023, onslaught.
On April 29, the IDF struck and killed Ibrahim Abu Sakkar, a Hamas operative and a paramedic in the terror group’s Military Medical Services, who the military said had planned an attack on troops "in the immediate timeframe" and during the war led numerous attacks on soldiers and Israel.
"Following intelligence analysis, it can be confirmed that the terrorist Abu Sakkar infiltrated Israeli territory during the brutal October 7 massacre and participated in the abduction of Mia Schem from the Mefalsim area," the military said.
Schem, a partygoer at the Nova music festival, was returned to Israel in a hostage deal with Hamas in November 2023.
HAYYA ACCUSES ISRAEL OF SEEKING TO PRESSURE HAMAS NEGOTIATORS
Azzam is the fourth of Khalil al-Hayya’s seven sons to be killed in Israeli attacks, according to a Hamas source.
Two other sons were killed in past Israeli attempts on the elder Hayya’s life, in Gaza strikes in 2008 and 2014. Another son was killed in Israel’s botched liquidation attempt on Hamas leaders in Doha in September 2025.

, survived that attack, and is currently vying for Hamas’s leadership.
Speaking to Al Jazeera about the attack on his son, the elder Hayya accused Israel of trying to undermine mediators’ efforts to push ahead with US President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
’s Gaza peace plan.
"These Zionist attacks and violations clearly indicate that the occupation does not want to abide by a ceasefire or by the first phase," Hayya said, speaking before his son’s death was announced.
The leaders of Hamas and other Paleostinian factions held talks this week in Cairo with regional mediators and with Bulgarian diplomat Nickolay Mladenov, the lead envoy of the Trump-led Board of Peace that is supposed to oversee the Gaza truce, officials said.
The plan involves Israeli troops withdrawing from Gaza and reconstruction starting as Hamas lays down its weapons. But Hamas’s disarmament is a sticking point in talks to implement Trump’s plan in full.
A Hamas official told Rooters on Wednesday the Paleostinian group told Mladenov it would not engage in serious talks on disarmament until Israel concludes obligations stemming from the first phase of the Gaza deal, including a complete halt to attacks.
A document obtained by The Times of Israel has shown that the Board of Peace does not intend to hold Israel to the terms of the October ceasefire if Hamas does not accept the international panel’s framework for the terror group’s disarmament.
At least 830 Paleostinians have been killed since the October truce agreement, according to local medics, while Israel says button men have killed four of its soldiers over the same period.
Israel says its strikes are aimed at thwarting attempts by Hamas and other Paleostinian terror operatives to stage attacks against its forces.
