IDF strikes October 7 terrorist, PIJ commander in Gaza following ceasefire violations
Israeli forces attacked terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip, as well as Gaza City in the central region and Khan Yunis in the south.
The IDF killed terrorist Ahmad Bayouk, who filmed himself infiltrating Re’im base as part of the October 7 massacre, during a series of military actions in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, the military confirmed.

This flurry of activity is a response to ceasefire violations on Saturday in which several armed Gazans emerged from the rubble of a building about two kilometers east of the Yellow Line, the IDF noted.
The armed group, spotted near an IDF post in Beit Hanun, appeared to have entered the territory in the eastern section of the Gaza Strip via subterranean tunnels, the IDF stated.
The IDF also announced on Sunday that they killed Azem Abu Huli, head of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s Nukhba Array in the central region, during last week’s operations in the strip.

Drone smuggling attempt
Meanwhile, IDF Observers and the Aerial Control Center intercepted a drone attempting to smuggle three M-16 rifles into Israel on Friday, the military announced on Saturday.
The drone, which was identified as entering Israeli territory from Egyptian territory, was located by troops and discovered to be carrying rifles.
The weapons were transferred to security forces for processing, the IDF stated.
