The Israeli military said it has killed two Hamas commanders during air strikes on Friday and Saturday in Gaza.

The military said Salem Jamal Abd al-Rahman Abu Labad, a cell commander in Hamas’s Nukhba special forces, who was killed in southern Gaza on Saturday, had taken part in the October 2023 attack.

In a separate air strike in central Gaza on Friday, the military said its forces also killed Muhammad Abd al-Nasser Muhammad Khatib, a commander in Hamas’s Maghazi Battalion.
