IDF eliminates Hamas Nukba commander and sniper in Gaza strikes

The IDF struck and killed two Hamas operatives in Gaza on Friday: Hani Abd al-Hai Fakhri Mazloum, a Nukba company commander, and Hassan Zidan Hassan Deiri, a sniper in Hamas's military wing. Both were involved in weapons trafficking and supply to Hamas terrorists. The IDF says the operatives were advancing attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians and working to rebuild Hamas capabilities in violation of the ceasefire. The strikes were conducted to remove an immediate threat. Precision munitions and aerial surveillance were used to mitigate civilian harm. IDF forces remain deployed in the area under the ceasefire agreement.
