Separately, the IDF confirmed the killing of two key Hamas commanders, writing

A key Hamas terrorist who was operating from within the Nasser Hospital compound in Gaza was precisely struck. The strike was conducted following an extensive intelligence-gathering process and with precise munitions in order to mitigate harm to the surrounding environment as much as possible."

the Palestinian armed group said in a statement
