The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) struck in southern Gaza over the weekend, eliminating Muhammad Saeed Ahmad Namruti, a company commander in Hamas who invaded Israeli territory during the October 7 massacre.
Throughout the war, Namruti took part in holding numerous hostages captive in Hamas tunnels. In a separate strike in central Gaza, the IDF killed Muawiya Suleiman Saqr Aidi, a company commander in the Popular Front for the Liberation of ‘Palestine’ (PFLP) in the central camps. Aidi raided Kibbutz Be’eri during the October 7 massacre.
Throughout the war and in recent weeks, both terrorists advanced terror operations against IDF forces and Israeli civilians, with Aidi taking part in planting explosive devices. The terrorists were killed in precision strikes after posing an immediate threat to IDF forces operating in Gaza. IDF forces under Southern Command are deployed across the area in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.
