The Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet killed three Hamas militants in a targeted strike in the northern Gaza Strip. One of those killed was Abdallah Jahja, a member of Hamas's naval force and a participant in the October 7 attacks on Israel.
Jahja was also reported to have contributed to planning multiple attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF personnel. He was killed alongside Mohammed Al-Hawari, a commander in Hamas's Zeitoun Battalion.
Sabhi Saqallah, an intelligence operative in the same battalion, was also killed in the operation. The strike targeted individuals associated with Hamas's military wing and its role in the October 7 attacks.
