The IDF has eliminated two senior Hamas police commanders in a precision strike, according to Palestinian sources. The operation resulted in the death of Hamas police chief Mahmoud Salah and Khan Younis district commander Hossam Shahwan, marking another significant setback for the organization's leadership structure in Gaza.
The day also saw a terror incident near Deir Qaddis in the Ephraim Brigade sector, where a vehicle ramming attack left a female IDF soldier with minor injuries. Security forces responded swiftly, neutralizing the attacker at the scene.
In southern Israel, Eilat's warning system was activated following detection of potential hostile aircraft, though this alert was later verified as a false alarm.
