⭕ The Defense Army attacked yesterday (Thursday) in the Beach area, and eliminated the terrorist Ibrahim Nabil Ibrahim Al-Bas, a commander in the military wing of the terrorist Hamas movement.

⭕ The terrorist infiltrated the territory of the State of Israel during the October 7 massacre.

⭕ And in another airstrike yesterday (Thursday) in the Sabra area, the Defense Army eliminated the terrorist Hamdi Ahmed Hamed Kahil, commander of a reconnaissance unit in the terrorist Islamic Jihad movement.

⭕ Throughout the war and in the recent period, the two terrorists promoted terrorist plans against Defense Army forces and citizens of the State of Israel, and attempted to rebuild the capabilities of the two terrorist movements, in a systematic violation of the ceasefire. The strikes were carried out with the aim of removing the threat.

⭕ Defense Army forces in the Southern Regional Command are deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement, and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.
The Times of Israel adds:
‘SYSTEMATICALLY VIOLATING THE CEASEFIRE’
The Israel Defense Forces announced Friday that a Hamas terrorist who participated in the October 7 onslaught and a commander in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were killed in separate strikes in Gaza City on Thursday.

One strike in the Shati camp killed Ibrahim Nabil Ibrahim Bass, who, according to the IDF, was a Hamas commander who invaded Israel on October 7.

A separate strike, in Gaza City’s Sabra neighborhood, killed Hamdi Ahmad Hamid Kahlil, identified by the military as a surveillance platoon commander in Islamic Jihad.

The IDF justified the strikes amid the ceasefire by claiming that both terror operatives had recently advanced attacks on troops and Israeli civilians, as well as acted to restore the capabilities of the terror groups, “while systematically violating the ceasefire.”

“The strikes were carried out to remove the threat,” the army added.

The IDF announced Thursday that two other Hamas commanders were killed in Israeli strikes in the Strip. While the US has been pushing for such strikes to end, as it seeks to advance the Board of Peace’s disarmament plan, Israel has bucked those calls, vowing to continue to pursue perpetrators of October 7.

Two Hamas commanders were killed in Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip today, the military announces. One strike in Gaza City’s Shati camp killed Bilal Ibrahim Saleh Raqi’i, identified by the IDF as a commander in Hamas’s anti-tank unit. A second strike in Khan Younis killed Azzam Rifaat Abd Abadala, who the military says served in Hamas’s Khan Younis Brigade.

The IDF justifies the strikes amid the ceasefire by saying that both terror operatives had recently advanced attacks on troops and Israeli civilians, as well as acted to restore Hamas capabilities, “while systematically violating the ceasefire.”

The strikes were “carried out to remove the threat,” the army adds.
