The Israeli military said it had “eliminated” five Hamas fighters, including two commanders, in an overnight raid in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahia, AFP reports.
In a statement, the military and the Shin Bet security agency said they had “eliminated five Hamas terrorists, including a Nukhba (commando) company commander and an additional company commander who participated in the October 7 massacre” that sparked the Gaza conflict last year, adding that the slain militants had “led the murders and kidnappings in the area of Mefalsim”, a kibbutz in southern Israel.
