The Israel Defense Forces has confirmed 'eliminating' Hamas commander Alaa' Haddadeh, with both Israel and the Palestinian group continuing to accuse each other of ceasefire violations.

"Following the violation of the ceasefire agreement, the IDF and the ISA targeted Hamas terrorists in precise strikes across Gaza," IDF wrote on X.

The Israeli force said Haddadeh was a central source of knowledge for supply and production systems, and operated to transfer weapons from Hamas’ headquarters to battalion and field commanders.

In a separate X post, IDF said 3 terrorists were identified crossing the yellow line and approaching IDF troops operating in the Khan Yunis area, posing an immediate threat to them.

"The IDF struck the terrorists in order to remove the threat," the force said.
