IDF, Shin Bet airstrike kills Hamas naval commander, mortar deputy chief in Gaza City

Additionally, soldiers from the IDF's Nahal Brigade, under the 162nd Division, operated in Gaza's Daraj Tuffah.

The IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) conducted an airstrike, killing Hamas Naval Force commander Ramzi Ramadan Abd Ali Saleh in the north Gaza Strip last Monday, the military confirmed on Sunday.

Saleh was in a structure in Gaza City, along with the deputy head of Hamas's mortar shell array cell, Hisham Ayman Atiya Mansour, and mortar shell terrorist Nissim Muhammad Suleiman Abu Sabha, who were both killed in the same strike, the military added.

Saleh had been a "significant source of knowledge in Hamas and was involved in planning and advancing maritime terrorist attacks against IDF troops operating in Gaza," the military noted.

Meanwhile, soldiers from the IDF's Nahal Brigade, under the 162nd Division, operated in Gaza's Daraj Tuffah.

During these recent operations, they located and dismantled "terrorist infrastructure sites, including military structures containing explosives, weapons stockpiles, and eliminated several Hamas terrorists."
