The IDF and Shin Bet focused their efforts on units actively working to rebuild the military capabilities of the two terrorist organizations. These units included the Weapons Production Headquarters and the Military Intelligence Unit, both considered crucial to the organizations’ operational strength.

According to the statement, Hamas’s Weapons Production Headquarters is responsible for restoring and expanding the group’s arsenal, including the development of precision missiles. The Military Intelligence Unit gathers and analyzes intelligence to maintain operational control in Gaza and facilitate attacks against Israel.

The slain terrorists included Muhammad Abu Awwad, Bilal Abu Shikha, Tayseer Shareem, Mundhir Salami and Mustafa Dababesh, all from Hamas’s Weapons Production Headquarters; Bilal Musallam and Ahmad Abu Shamala from Hamas’s Military Intelligence Unit; Rabi‘ Mustafa Rabi‘ Sukhweil from Hamas’s “military” wing; and Muhammad al-Bayouk of the Islamic Jihad Weapons Production Apparatus.

Meanwhile, the broader operation in the Gaza Strip continues. Over the past 24 hours, the Israeli Air Force attacked over 100 targets in support of ground troops, including terrorists, infrastructure, military buildings, weapons depots and tunnel networks.

Under the Southern Command and with intelligence support, IDF divisions targeted Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, killing terrorists and dismantling terrorist infrastructure above and below ground. Key actions included the destruction of weapons caches, tunnels and the elimination of terrorist cells in areas such as Beit Hanoun, Jabalia, Deir al-Balah, Shejaiya and Zaytoun.

The military said on Sunday that the IAF struck more than 150 enemy targets across the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, including weapons storage facilities, anti-tank missile launchers, sniper posts and terrorist cells.

IDF troops continue to operate in the area of Beit Hanoun in northeastern Gaza, killing terrorists and dismantling arms facilities, command centers and underground infrastructure.

Israeli soldiers in the Khan Yunis area of southern Gaza identified a terrorist preparing to attack them and coordinated an airstrike that eliminated the threat.

Five Southern Command divisions are operating in the Palestinian enclave, dismantling terrorist infrastructure above and below ground.

The Israeli military activity is part of “Operation Gideon’s Chariots.” Launched on May 16, it is a wide-scale IDF campaign targeting the last Hamas and Islamic Jihad strongholds in Gaza.
