Two Palestinian Islamic Jihad battalion commanders were killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, the IDF and Shin Bet announce.

The strike targeted a command room embedded within the Israeli-designated humanitarian zone in central Gaza's Deir al-Balah, according to the military.

Several terror operatives were killed in the strike, including Abdullah Khattab, the commander of PIJ's South Deir al-Balah Battalion, and Hatem Abu al-Jidyan, the commander of PIJ's East Deir al-Balah Battalion, the IDF and Shin Bet say.

The IDF says Khattab had oversaw his battalion during the October 7 onslaught, and was involved in numerous attacks on Israel and troops, including rocket fire and anti-tank fire.

Abu al-Jidyan also advanced numerous attacks against troops amid the ongoing fighting.
