The first victim, Hassam Walid Hassan Abu Al-Ata, was a commander in the rocket unit of the PIJ military wing and was killed in Gaza City. Magdi Moein Yousef Al-Ayoubi, also in Gaza City, was another PIJ military wing member who perished in the strikes. Muhammad Aja, a company commander in Hamas’ military wing, met his end in the Al-Furqan area.\n\nThe IDF stated that these individuals had recently advanced plans for attacks against IDF soldiers and had worked to regain control of the terror organizations within the Gaza Strip. This act of targeted strikes violated the ceasefire agreement, according to the IDF.
