The IDF eliminated two days ago (Tuesday, September 15, 2026) in the northern Gaza Strip the terrorist Sharif Shadi Ibrahim Labad, a Nukhba terrorist in Hamas's military wing, who was documented at the Erez crossing after raiding Israel during the October 7, 2023 massacre. In another strike earlier this week, Youssef Saad al-Din Rashid Za'im, a Nukhba commander in Hamas, was eliminated. According to the IDF spokesperson, in recent times the two promoted terrorist plots against IDF forces and Israeli civilians and worked to restore the organization's capabilities while systematically violating the ceasefire. The IDF emphasized the terrorists were eliminated to remove the threat they posed. Before the strikes, steps were taken to minimize harm to civilians, including the use of precision munitions and aerial surveillance. IDF forces under Southern Command are deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement.
