The spokesperson for the Israeli occupation army announced the execution of a series of targeted air raids in various areas of the Gaza Strip, claiming to have eliminated two field cadres from the Hamas movement. Military sources alleged that these operations were carried out to thwart offensive plans that were targeting forces infiltrating the Strip, indicating that the aerial action aimed to remove what it described as a 'direct threat' to the safety of soldiers and their field movements during the current year.
In details of the targeting, the occupation army claimed that an airstrike carried out on Saturday in the northern Gaza Strip resulted in the assassination of Muhammad Najib Ashour, whom the occupation identified as a faction commander in the elite forces of Hamas's military wing. According to Israeli claims, Ashour's targeting came based on precise intelligence monitoring that accused him of directing combat operations and offensive plans towards the front lines of the occupation forces in active engagement areas.
Regarding operations in the southern axes, the military spokesperson's statement referred to another raid that occurred last Wednesday, July 1st, targeting Tamer Saeed Abu Nahal. The occupation claimed that Abu Nahal held the position of a military cell commander, and that he was involved with Ashour in advancing combat projects that targeted army personnel, which necessitated issuing direct orders for their elimination through airstrikes described by sources as precise after several days of monitoring.
The occupation army concluded its statement by affirming that the Southern Command continues to maintain its full deployment in the field according to approved operational plans. Sources emphasized the continuation of intensive military activity in all axes of the Strip to confront any security threats, placing these assassinations within the framework of ongoing efforts to undermine the field capabilities of the Palestinian resistance in Gaza, amidst widespread media coverage of the repercussions of these targetings.
The army will continue intensive field work to remove any security threat that its elements may face in all axes.
