IDF: The IDF eliminated the Islamic Jihad’s Deputy Head of Weapons Manufacturing; IDF troops eliminated approximately 30 terrorists in the area of Rafah During a targeted, intelligence-based operation, the IDF eliminated the terrorist Mohammed al-Jabari, who was deputy head of weapons manufacturing for the Islamic Jihad.

Al-Jabari was responsible for financing weapons manufacturing infrastructure for the Islamic Jihad in northern Gaza, the distribution of salaries and funds, and was part of attempts to restore the Islamic Jihad’s rocket manufacturing capabilities and infrastructure. Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, surveillance, and additional intelligence.

Moreover, troops of the 162nd Division are continuing precise, intelligence-based operational activities in the area of Rafah. Over the past day, IDF troops eliminated approximately 30 terrorists during close-quarters encounters and in aerial strikes. Furthermore, troops of the 16th Brigade began operational activities in central Gaza under the command of the 252nd Division. The troops identified a terrorist cell exiting a terror tunnel in order to attack IDF forces.

Shortly following the identification, the IAF eliminated the terrorists. In addition, the IAF struck a structure in which numerous explosive devices and weapons were stored.

By Emanuel Fabian, Times of Israel, 2 August 2024:

A senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip, the military says, as troops continue operations in Rafah and the Netzarim Corridor.

Muhammad al-Jabari was the deputy head of an Islamic Jihad weapons manufacturing unit, and responsible for the unit’s finances, according to the IDF.

The IDF says that al-Jabari “was entrusted with the organization’s production of weapons in the northern Gaza Strip, distribution of salaries and money to the organization’s terrorists, and took an active part in the attempt to restore the organization’s rocket production capabilities and infrastructure.”

The military carried out “many steps” to mitigate harm to civilians in the strike, including using aerial surveillance and precision munitions, the IDF says.

Meanwhile, the IDF says that troops with the 162nd Division killed more than 30 gunmen in close-quarters combat and by calling in airstrikes in southern Gaza’s Rafah in the past day.

In the Netzarim Corridor in the central Gaza Strip where the 252nd Division is deployed, reservists with the division’s Jerusalem Brigade spotted a cell of gunmen emerging from a tunnel, and called in a drone strike, according to the military.

In the same area amid operations by the Harel Reserve Armored Brigade, an attack helicopter struck a building used as a weapons depot, the IDF adds.
