The strikes, announced by the IDF, resulted in the death of at least 10 Palestinians, with nine killed in an airstrike in Nuseirat and one in Gaza City. One of the targeted Hamas commanders was involved in the October 7th Massacre. The IDF also sealed two tunnels belonging to Hamas in the Gaza Strip, with a combined length of over two kilometers. The strikes were conducted using precise munitions and were carried out with aerial surveillance to minimize the risk to civilians. Prior to the strikes, the IDF ensured that steps were taken to avoid harming innocent Palestinians. The military continued to operate in accordance with the ceasefire agreement, while working to neutralize immediate threats.",
