Israeli Air Force Kills Two Hamas Commanders Amid Ceasefire Violations, Arrests 40 in West BankPreviousNext

The Israeli Air Force, in coordination with the Shin Bet security agency, conducted airstrikes in the Gaza Strip last week, killing two Hamas military commanders accused of violating a ceasefire. The targeted individuals were Muhammad Khalawa, a military intelligence commander, and Ahmed Zaher Fouad Abu-Udeh, an engineering commander. Concurrently, Israeli forces arrested 40 suspects in counter-terrorism operations across the West Bank, focusing on areas linked to Hamas, aiming to neutralize threats to Israeli security.
