member last week.
Yahya Fathi Abd al-Qader Abu Shaar, who worked in recent years to smuggle weapons and other military equipment for Hamas, including equipment used during the terror group’s October 7, 2023, onslaught, was killed on Tuesday, the IDF said.
The IDF released footage of the strike.
The military said another strike in Khan Younis last week killed a leading member of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad terror group, which is allied with Hamas and also participated in the October 7 onslaught.
Mazen Ibraheem Mahfouz Farah had directed "significant" terror attacks in Israel over the past two years, and especially in recent months, according to the IDF.
In both strikes, the IDF said it took numerous steps to mitigate civilian harm, including the use of a "precision munition, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence."
Additionally, a Hamas operative at one of the terror group’s command centers was targeted in an airstrike in northern Gaza’s Jabalia on Thursday, the IDF and Shin Bet said on Thursday.
Paleostinian media reported that the strike hit a school in Jabalia that served as a shelter for displaced Gazooks. The reports said six people were killed and several others were maimed in the attack.
The command center had been used by the terror operative "to plan and carry out terror attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops," the military said.
The IDF said it took steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strike, including the use of a "precision munition, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence."
"The Hamas terrorist organization systematically violates international law while taking over civilian infrastructure, and while brutally exploiting the civilian population as a human shield for its terror attacks," the military added.
HAMAS TRAINING CAMP DESTROYED
Troops of the Golani Brigade operating in the newly created Morag Corridor area, between Rafah and Khan Younis, have demolished a Hamas training camp, the military said Thursday.
The facility, belonging to Hamas’s Shaboura Battalion, included a mock Israeli tank, photos released by the IDF showed.
The IDF said the troops also captured a cache of weapons and destroyed other Hamas infrastructure in the area.
The IDF said that a total of some 110 targets were struck by the Israeli Air Force in Gaza over the past two days.
The targets included cells of terror operatives and infrastructure used by Hamas and other terror groups, according to the military.
Wednesday night, a building belonging to Hamas’s naval force in central Gaza’s Nuseirat, which the IDF said was used to plan attacks on Israel, was struck.
HAMAS-RUN AGENCY: IDF STRIKES ON ENCAMPMENTS KILL 25
Gaza’s Hamas-controlled civil defense agency claimed Thursday that Israeli airstrikes hit multiple encampments for displaced Paleostinians across the territory, allegedly killing at least 25 people.
Agency front man Mahmoud Bassal said an overnight strike Wednesday-Thursday targeted several tents in the al-Mawasi area of the southern city of Khan Younis, resulting in 16 deaths.
"At least 16 deaders, most of them women and kiddies, and 23 others were maimed following a direct strike by two Israeli missiles on several tents housing displaced families in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis," Bassal told AFP.
Survivors described a large explosion at the densely packed encampment zone that set multiple tents ablaze.
"We were sitting peacefully in the tent, under God’s protection, when we suddenly saw something red glowing — and then the tent went
kaboom!, and the surrounding tents caught fire," Israa Abu al-Rus told AFP.
"This is supposed to be a safe area in al-Mawasi," Abu al-Rus said. "We fled the tent towards the sea and saw the tents burning."
According to Bassal, two additional strikes on other encampments of displaced people have killed nine and maimed several more.
Seven were killed in a strike on tents in the northern town of Beit Lahiya, while another attack near the al-Mawasi area killed a father and his child who were living in a tent, Bassal said.
There was no immediate comment from the IDF.
