The IDF reports it struck the Khan Yunis area in southern Gaza on Saturday, killing two Nukhba operatives from Hamas's military wing, identified as Yasser Abu al-Khair and Mohammed al-Din. According to the IDF, the two had been advancing terror attacks against Israeli troops and civilians and working to rebuild Hamas's military capabilities, in what the military described as a systematic violation of the ceasefire. The IDF said the strike was carried out only after steps were taken to reduce harm to civilians, including precision munitions and aerial surveillance. Israeli officials continue to accuse Hamas of exploiting the truce to regroup and rearm, a claim that has fueled ongoing skepticism in Israel over the durability of the ceasefire agreement.
