Israeli Military Eliminates Five Hamas Militants in Northern Gaza

The Israeli military reported the elimination of five Hamas militants, including two key commanders, during an overnight raid in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahia. The slain militants were involved in the October 7 massacre, which triggered the ongoing Gaza war, and played significant roles in the attacks on southern Israel’s Mefalsim kibbutz, including murders and kidnappings. The raid was carried out by Israeli forces in coordination with the Shin Bet security agency.

The two commanders were reportedly part of the team that orchestrated the coordinated assault on Israel, using various tactics and equipment to infiltrate Israeli territory.
