Overview
- Israeli forces say a central Gaza strike eliminated three senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad figures who the military accused of restoring the group’s engineering and anti‑tank capabilities.
- The military reported an airstrike on Hamas’s naval police headquarters in Khan Younis that killed a senior Hamas military‑wing cell commander and several operatives at the facility.
- Israel and the Shin Bet say a northern Gaza strike killed Khader Jamasi and his deputy Muhammad Harazin, whom officials identified as key managers of an underground money‑transfer network used to move funds to Hamas’s military wing.
- The IDF said it also destroyed multiple weapons depots in southern Gaza and observed secondary explosions that indicated stored munitions, and it asserted steps were taken before strikes to warn civilians and limit harm.
- Officials describe the actions as part of a continuing campaign to degrade militant military, logistical and financial capacity after the 2023–24 fighting, a campaign that could complicate stalled mediation efforts and affect ordinary Gazans’ daily life.
