The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have conducted two separate drone strikes in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza. The first operation involved the Givati Brigade, which used drone reconnaissance to identify and eliminate three terrorists who were approaching IDF forces and hiding in a building. The second strike targeted a group of Hamas operatives operating out of the former Halawa School, which had been converted into a command and control center. This strike was carried out with precise intelligence guidance from the IDF, the Israel Security Agency (ISA), and Southern Command. The school had been used by Hamas to plan and execute attacks against IDF troops and Israel. The operation to clear Jabalia has been ongoing for four months, starting in early October, and one of the terrorists emerged from a Hamas tunnel before being eliminated.
