Several terrorists who were operating within a command and control center embedded inside the Humanitarian Area in Khan Yunis were struck overnight in a precise, intelligence-based strike.
Among the terrorists struck were:
• Samer Ismail Khadr Abu Daqqa: Head of Hamas’ Aerial Unit in Gaza
• Osama Tabesh: Head of the Observation and Targets Department in Hamas’ Military Intelligence Headquarters
• Ayman Mabhouh: Senior Hamas Terrorist

Despite the extensive measures taken by the IDF to enable the Gazan population to move away from combat zones, including by designating a Humanitarian Area, the Hamas terrorist organization continues to embed its operatives and military infrastructure in the Humanitarian Area and systematically use Gazan civilians as a human shield for its terrorist activities.
