Over three consecutive days, the Israeli army spokesman announced assassinations targeting commanders and operatives of Hamas's military wing in various areas of the Gaza Strip, including Gaza City, Nuseirat, Khan Younis and the northern Strip. The military statements accused those targeted of involvement in the October 7 attack, of holding Israeli captives, of seeking to carry out military operations against Israeli forces and Israelis, and of rebuilding Hamas's capabilities in violation of the ceasefire.
