The Israeli army announced that 3 people it identified as members of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad were killed in airstrikes carried out across the Gaza Strip.

In a statement posted on the Israeli army’s social media account, it said that Hasan Walid Hasan Abu al-Ata, commander of the rocket unit in the military wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and Majdi Muin Yusuf al-Ayyubi, who was said to have served in the organization’s military wing, were targeted in Gaza City.

The statement also said that Muhammad Aja, who was alleged to be a battalion commander in Hamas’s military wing, was killed in a strike carried out in the al-Furayqan area.

The Israeli army alleged that the individuals had recently encouraged attacks against Israeli forces and had been involved in activities aimed at rebuilding the organizations’ military capabilities. The statement claimed that these activities systematically violated the ceasefire agreement.

The statement said the three individuals had been targeted in airstrikes and that units under the Israeli army’s Southern Command remained deployed in the area under the agreement and would continue operating to eliminate immediate threats.

No independent verification of the claims in the statement was provided.
