The IDF carried out a targeted strike overnight in central Gaza, eliminating several armed Nukhba terrorists from Hamas while they were conducting a military training exercise.
According to the military, the operatives had recently taken part in multiple training activities and were identified as an active threat to Israeli forces and the State of Israel.
IDF Southern Command forces remain deployed in accordance with the current agreement and will continue operating to remove any emerging threats. The strike underscores Israel’s ongoing policy of targeting active terrorist elements even during preparation phases, not only during attacks.
NEWSRAEL: The attack suggests intelligence penetration deep enough to track and act on real-time training activity, and may reflect a broader strategy similar to Israel’s targeting of Iranian-affiliated forces elsewhere in the region.
