Israeli Air Force Strikes Hamas Commanders in Gaza

In a coordinated airstrike in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, the Israeli Air Force targeted key Hamas figures involved in the October 7 massacre, resulting in the deaths of five terrorists. Among those killed were Jihad Mahmoud Yahya Kahlout and Muhammad Riyad Ali Uqal, both company commanders in Hamas's Nukhba force, who were instrumental in orchestrating attacks and abductions of Israeli civilians. The operation, described as decisive, reflects Israel's ongoing military efforts to neutralize threats from Hamas amid escalating tensions. Additionally, another commander, Khalid Abu Daqqa of the Islamic Jihad, was also reported killed in a separate strike. This series of attacks underscores the Israeli military's commitment to countering perceived threats in the region.
