The targeted strike took place earlier this week. The commander\u2019s predecessor was killed just one week prior.<\/p>\n<p>The militant Mohammad al-\u2019Ajla had recently replaced former commander Haitham Razak Abd al-Karim Sheikh Khalil, who was eliminated the previous week. Throughout the war, al-\u2019Ajla served as the combat support platoon commander within the Shuja\u2019iyya battalion and was responsible for supplying weapons to militants for attacks against IDF forces and Israeli civilians.<\/p>\n<p>Al-\u2019Ajla is the fifth Hamas battalion commander eliminated since the war began, and the third since the launch of Operation &#8220;Oz veHerev&#8221; (Strength and Sword). According to the IDF, precautionary measures were taken ahead of the strike to minimize civilian casualties, including early warnings to civilians, precision-guided munitions, and aerial surveillance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the IDF Chief of Staff\u2019s field tour and approval of continued combat plans, the Prime Minister\u2019s Office confirms,  Netanyahu visited northern Gaza today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":19791,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[77,2276,6],"tags":[2210,1476,1475,4233],"class_list":["post-19790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-idf","category-people","category-security","tag-benjamin-netanyahu","tag-gaza","tag-idf","tag-operation-swords-of-iron"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.7 (Yoast SEO v24.7) -
