Israeli forces killed a Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander in a targeted strike in southern Gaza earlier this week, the Israel Defense Forces said on Thursday.

The military identified the terrorist as Adam Muhammad Ibrahim Abu Hadid, who oversaw infrastructure used to manufacture weapons for attacks on Israeli troops and civilians.

The strike took place on Tuesday in the Khan Younis area.

Abu Hadid posed an immediate threat to troops, according to the IDF.

Israeli forces remain deployed in the area in line with the ceasefire agreement, the military added.

Hamas said it is willing to move forward with second stage of the U.S.-brokered framework, calling on Washington to exert pressure on Jerusalem.
“We can and know how to stand our ground—even against our best friends when necessary,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“I’m happy that the University of Washington, for literally the first time ever, has made the correct decision to not have an America-hating communist spread his hatred and terrible ideology to young people at our taxpayer funded universities,” Republican state representative Travis Couture told JNS.
The student plaintiffs are “very, very happy” with the settlement, and the college’s statement is an “amazing change,” Lori Lowenthal Marcus of the Deborah Project told JNS.
