Yesterday (Saturday), in the Gaza City area, the IDF struck and eliminated Majed Abu Salmiya, a terrorist in Hamas’ military wing.

As part of his role, Abu Salmiya operated as a sniper for Hamas and was preparing to carry out an imminent terror attack against IDF troops in the Gaza City area.

Prior to the strike, steps were taken in order to mitigate harm to civilians as much as possible, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence.
