The IDF on Monday continued with its coordinated ground, air, and sea operations in Gaza, an IDF spokesman confirmed.
Over the course of Monday morning, the IDF continued to expand its ground operations in Gaza. During engagements with terrorists in the Hamas-controlled enclave, several terrorist cells that attempted to attack the forces were thwarted by IDF troops, with support from IAF helicopters and UAVs.
The troops also destroyed terror infrastructure, including antitank missile launchers and other launch pads.
In addition, based on IDF and ISA intelligence, IDF troops killed four prominent Hamas operatives in the last few hours.
The IDF named the eliminated operatives as Jamil Baba, commander of Hamas’ naval forces in its Central Brigade; Muhammad Safadi, commander of the anti-tank missile unit in the Tuffah Battalion; Muwaman Hijazi, a prominent operative in Hamas' anti-tank missile unit; and Muhammad Awdallah, a senior operative in Hamas’ production department.
