#BREAKING | IDF and Shin Bet Eliminate Two Terrorists Working to Smuggle Combat Means and Military Equipment into Gaza Strip

⭕️The IDF and Shin Bet struck yesterday (Wednesday) in the Khan Yunis area in southern Gaza Strip, eliminating the terrorists Asil Nabil Abdul Rahman Qashta and Ahmed Rajaa Al-Sha'er, who were working to smuggle combat means and additional military equipment into the Gaza Strip.

⭕️As part of their roles, the two terrorists were responsible for purchasing combat means and trading in them, and in parallel, worked to smuggle combat means into the Gaza Strip. They were eliminated with the aim of removing the threat from the citizens of the State of Israel and IDF forces operating in the Yellow Line areas.

⭕️Prior to the strike, steps were taken to reduce as much as possible the potential for harm to civilians, including the use of precision munitions and aerial surveillance operations.

⭕️The IDF and Shin Bet continue to focus their efforts on targeting the capabilities for escalation and funding of military activity by terrorist organizations, with the aim of preventing the rebuilding of their infrastructure and military capabilities.

⭕️Security forces under the Southern Regional Command are deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.

Separately, the IDF said Thursday that engineering troops from the Gaza Division's Southern Brigade, working with the Yahalom combat engineering unit, sealed and dismantled an underground tunnel route approximately 1.5 kilometers long that crossed the Yellow Line area in the Gaza Strip.

The tunnel contained rooms intended for use by Hamas terrorists, according to the IDF. Troops in the Southern Command remained deployed in the area under the ceasefire agreement and would continue operating to remove immediate threats, the statement said.
