Israel Defense Forces (IDF) neutralized, eliminated, killed, dozens of Hamassholes while arresting a bunch of others during a counter-terrorism sweep in the Beit Hanun area of northeastern Gaza, the IDF reported on Wednesday.
Troops from the IDF's Givati Brigade, in coordination with the Israeli Air Force and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), raided a location in Beit Hanun based on intelligence that terrorists were assembling there.
Additionally, a combat team from the IDF's Kfir Brigade was actively engaged in operations in Beit Lahiya, eliminating terrorists both through aerial and ground assaults, and destroying their weapons caches, according to the IDF.
On Saturday evening, the IDF conducted a precision airstrike in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, targeting and eliminating Imad Jaro, a member of Hamas’s "military" wing.
"Imad Jaro operated from a Hamas compound in the Gaza humanitarian zone, where he planned and executed attacks against Israeli troops and the State of Israel," the IDF stated. Jaro was also deeply involved in Hamas's political and governmental activities in Deir al-Balah, serving as mayor and leading the Government Emergency Committee in central Gaza, maintaining regular contact with Al-Qassam Brigades, the "military" wing of Hamas.
The IDF highlighted that they took steps to minimize civilian casualties before the strike, accusing Hamas of "continuing to abuse civilian and humanitarian infrastructure for its terrorist activities, in violation of international law."
Overnight on Friday, the Israeli Air Force targeted Hamas operatives who were about to launch attacks against IDF troops in Gaza and against Israeli soil. These terrorists were located within a command-and-control center that was formerly the Yaffa (Jaffa) school in Gaza City.
Meanwhile, Hamas's military operations included firing rockets near civilian and humanitarian facilities; one rocket was launched from central Gaza on Saturday evening, landing in an open area and setting off sirens in nearby Israeli communities without causing injuries. Another incident on Friday evening saw rockets fired from just 50 meters away from an international aid warehouse.
In retaliation, the IAF targeted several weapons storage sites and terrorists operating near the rocket launch locations that night.
The IDF, in collaboration with the Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), reaffirmed their commitment to "continue to act in accordance with international law to enable and facilitate the transfer of humanitarian aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip."
