The IDF and Shin Bet eliminated terrorist Muaman Gaber al-Sayyid Abu Lbada, head of a sniper cell in Hamas's Rafah Brigade, in an airstrike in Khan Younis. Intelligence indicates that Abu Lbada conducted sniper training in the Gaza Strip with the aim of carrying out attacks against Israeli civilians and targeting IDF forces operating in the yellow line area. Recently, the terrorist worked to rebuild Hamas's military capabilities, systematically and continuously violating the ceasefire agreement. The elimination joins a series of severe blows the organization is suffering in the southern Strip, including the elimination of Muhammad Yazouri, commander of the Khan Younis Brigade in Hamas's military wing, along with other senior terrorists including company commander Hudhaifa Ma'amar and terrorist Muhammad Bahjat Rachi. The IDF clarified that Southern Command forces will continue to operate decisively against any attempt to harm state security and remove any threat in real time.
