IDF eliminates two Hamas operatives including October 7th participant who held hostages

The IDF eliminated two Hamas operatives in strikes in the Gaza City area earlier this week. Hassan Mahmoud Siam, a commander in Hamas' military wing, infiltrated Israel during the October 7th massacre and was involved in holding hostages Amit Soussana, Keith and Aviva Siegel, and Dafna Elyakim in Gaza. In a separate strike, the IDF eliminated Adham Sabhi Salim Ziara, another Hamas operative. Both terrorists recently advanced attacks against IDF troops, planted explosive devices, and conducted shooting attacks in the Yellow Line area in violation of the ceasefire. Precise munitions and aerial surveillance were used to mitigate civilian harm.
