Abdallah Abu Shamala, head of Hamas’s Navy in Gaza, and Fadi Abu Mustafa, a senior tunnel engineer in the Khan Yunis Brigade, were killed during IDF strikes on Wednesday, the military confirmed in a joint statement with the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) on Thursday.
The operation followed Hamas’s violation of the ceasefire agreement and was guided by joint intelligence. According to the IDF and ISA, Abu Mustafa also took part in holding hostages captive, including Nimrod Cohen and David Cunio.
Abu Shamala advanced attacks against Israeli forces and maritime targets throughout the war, according to the IDF.

Multiple ceasefire violations in Gaza
In recent weeks, Israeli officials and analysts have warned that Hamas is seeking to rebuild and test the ceasefire’s limits. In contrast, Israeli forces have responded to multiple threats and attempts to enter the IDF-controlled 'Yellow Line.'
On Wednesday, Israeli troops stationed behind the Yellow Line found an eight-tubed rocket launcher with four rockets aimed at Israel while clearing the area.
In addition, during a separate operation by the Kfir Brigade, several weapons were found, including Kalashnikov rifles, fragmentation grenades, explosives, magazines, and military uniforms.
