The IDF reports it carried out a precision strike in the Gaza City area that eliminated Hamas commander Omar Mohammed Roshdy Saraj, whom it identified as responsible for managing weapons supplies to Hamas terrorists in the area. According to the IDF, another Hamas terrorist was also hit in the strike. The military said the targets were continuing to advance attacks against Israelis and working to reconstitute Hamas's terror capabilities, actions Israel describes as systematic violations of the ceasefire agreement. The IDF has continued to carry out strikes against Hamas operatives it says are exploiting the ceasefire to rebuild military capacity and plan further attacks, as Israel maintains it will act against any threats to its civilians despite the broader truce framework in Gaza.
