Israeli forces killed two Hamas terrorists in northern Gaza last week, including Fares al-Masri, who headed a division in Hamas’s production headquarters. In a separate strike in the same area, troops eliminated Mohammad Abu Shkian, a Nukhba terrorist.
Al-Masri was working to manufacture weapons as part of Hamas’s rebuilding efforts, in violation of the ceasefire agreement. Both terrorists had recently been advancing terror plots against IDF forces and Israeli civilians. IDF troops under Southern Command are deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue operating to remove threats.
