Israel announces killing of two Hamas leaders in Gaza Strip

The Israeli army announced on Sunday that it eliminated Muaz Jamal Abu Nasira, a commander in the military wing of the Hamas movement, during an airstrike in the Khan Younis area of the Gaza Strip.

The army added that it also eliminated Mahmoud Ibrahim Dhib Aliyan, a member of Hamas's surveillance unit, in another strike on Saturday.

The army stated that Aliyan was observed recently working to advance plots against its forces in the Yellow Line area, as well as rebuilding Hamas capabilities, which it described as a systematic violation of the ceasefire agreement.
