Israeli Army Eliminates Two Hamas Military Leaders in Separate Gaza Strikes

The Israeli army declared on Sunday that it had eliminated two members of Hamas's military wing in two separate strikes conducted in the northern and southern parts of the Gaza Strip.

According to an army statement, an airstrike was carried out on Saturday targeting the northern Gaza Strip, resulting in the death of Mohammed Najib Ashour, who was a commander of an elite faction within Hamas's military wing.

In a separate operation conducted last Wednesday in the southern Gaza Strip, the army killed Tamer Saeed Abu Nahl, who led a cell affiliated with Hamas's military wing.

The army clarified that both men were involved in planning attacks against its forces and posed a direct threat, which necessitated targeting them with precise airstrikes.

The Israeli army affirmed that its forces under the Southern Command continue their field deployment in accordance with existing agreements, emphasizing ongoing efforts to neutralize any threats to the security of its troops or the region.
