Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Aug 31 it killed Omar Saraj, the Hamas
logistics and supply commander for Gaza City, during an operation in the Sabra
area of Gaza City. The IDF said Saraj was responsible for providing weapons to
Hamas fighters in Gaza City and that the raid aimed to eliminate that threat.
The military added Hamas has recently pushed attacks on Israeli forces and
civilians and has systematically violated the ceasefire agreement.
