IDF forces identified two Hamas operatives leaving Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza; one was planting explosives brought from inside the facility in the Yellow Line area
IDF forces overnight identified two Hamas terrorists leaving Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. One of the operatives was planting explosives brought from inside the hospital in the Yellow Line area, intending to target IDF forces.
The IDF immediately struck and eliminated the terrorists to remove the threat. According to the IDF spokesperson, Muhammad Tamous, a sniper in Hamas's military wing who was killed in the strike, also operated as a civil defense worker in the Gaza Strip.
The terrorists had recently been advancing terror operations from inside the hospital and working to restore Hamas's capabilities, in systematic violation of the ceasefire agreement. The IDF emphasizes that Hamas continues to cynically exploit hospitals and medical infrastructure in the Strip for terror purposes, in violation of international law.
According to the IDF spokesperson, the organization is converting spaces designated for treating the civilian population into areas used to advance terror activity and rebuild its military capabilities. This activity endangers the civilian population.
The elimination joins a series of operational actions the IDF has carried out in recent months against Hamas commanders. In late September, Muhammad Hamed Muhammad Gabain, a commander in Hamas's military wing who was involved in holding nine Israeli hostages in captivity, was eliminated.
IDF forces in the Southern Command are deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue to operate to remove immediate threats. According to assessments by the security establishment, Hamas has suffered severe and systemic blows during the fighting in Gaza, but still has military capabilities.
