The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that two members of armed groups were killed in airstrikes carried out in the southern and northern Gaza Strip.

According to the IDF, the operation in southern Gaza targeted Rashid al-Kachi, whom Israel identified as a section chief in the production unit of the armed group it refers to as GAAP. Israel claimed that al-Kachi was involved in the production of weapons and ammunition for the group's military wing and was responsible for manufacturing military equipment intended for attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians.

The statement also said that in a separate airstrike in northern Gaza, Abdallah Baha al-Din Rezak al-Suti, identified as a sniper in Hamas' military wing, was killed.

Israel claimed that the recent activities of the targeted individuals posed a threat to forces operating in the area and said the strikes were carried out to eliminate that threat.

The IDF added that Southern Command forces will continue to operate in the area in accordance with the current agreements and will continue operations against targets considered to pose an immediate threat to security forces.
