IDF kills Hamas terrorists in northern Gaza Strip in multiple strikes over past 48 hours
The IDF announced it killed several Hamas terrorists in northern Gaza over recent days, including commanders and operatives, and destroyed missile launchers, as part of operations against threats to Israeli forces and ceasefire violations.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported killing multiple Hamas terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip over the past week, including commanders and operatives, and destroying missile launchers, according to statements from the military's Spokesperson's Unit as covered by the Jerusalem Post.
Coverage Comparison
The Jerusalem Post published several reports on the IDF operations, each detailing different aspects and timeframes of the strikes. On July 10, 2026, the paper reported that the IDF killed 12 terrorists in recent days, including senior figures. Another report from July 1 detailed strikes over the previous week that killed four terrorists. A third report, dated July 12, described strikes on Sunday that killed several terrorists inside a weapons production site, as well as two other strikes on Saturday.
Key Claims
The IDF said it killed 12 terrorists in the Gaza Strip in recent days, including Khalil Jamal Khalil Manaa, a commander in Hamas's production headquarters, and Osama Walid Dib Maharb, a platoon commander in the Nuseirat Battalion, as reported by the Jerusalem Post on July 10.
Yahya Sa'id Muhammad Hamdan, head of a Nukhba cell that raided Camp Re'im during the October 7 attacks, was also killed in an airstrike in southern Gaza, the IDF stated.
The IDF reported that on Wednesday it conducted strikes throughout the northern Gaza Strip, killing four Hamas terrorists and destroying several missile launchers, as per a July 1 report. The terrorists were identified as Sameh Abu Kamil, Akram Ashraf Hamad Labad, Wael Mahmoud Ali, and Muaz Mohammad Hassan Ahmad.
In a July 12 report, the IDF said it killed several terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip on Sunday while they planned attacks against Israeli soldiers. The strike hit a Hamas weapons production site, which the IDF said was a ceasefire violation.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
