Israeli army says it killed Hamas drone cell leader in central Gaza

The Israeli military said it killed Hemam Id, the head of an unmanned aerial vehicle cell linked to Hamas's armed wing, in the Deir al-Balah area of central Gaza on July 26. According to the army, Id had previously commanded a small drone cell operating in the central camps area and took part in aerial operations directed at Israeli troops and civilians. He was also responsible for the production of drones used to target Israelis and military forces, the statement said. The military said the operation was carried out in the camps area of central Gaza and released a photograph showing Id's death as part of the announcement. The army also said Hamas has recently sought to revive its aerial capabilities, which it described as a violation of the ceasefire agreement.
