The IDF said separate airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Saturday killed two members of Hamas's elite Nukhba force, including one who infiltrated Kibbutz Nir Oz during the Oct. 7 massacre. Early Monday the military announced four more Hamas operatives had been killed, including another Oct. 7 participant and the head of a department in Hamas's recruitment apparatus.

The IDF said the men had been advancing attacks against Israeli civilians and troops. The Times of Israel and i24NEWS carried the announcements. Gaza hospital sources said separate Israeli drone strikes in central and southern Gaza killed at least three people.
