The Jerusalem Posttargeting Hamas commanders, Hamas elite Nukhba force commanders
An Israeli strike targeted a cafe in the port area west of Gaza City, killing six Palestinians and injuring others according to reports from Al Jazeera and The Jerusalem Post. The IDF stated the operation aimed at four Hamas Nukhba force commanders meeting at the site. The incident occurred the day after a meeting between Jared Kushner and Benjamin Netanyahu.
The strike highlights civilian deaths in a public cafe, including a child, and raises questions about proportionality in urban combat zones.
