Timing caveat: The IDF gave no time for the two September 25 strikes. They cannot be confirmed as occurring after 4:32 p.m. and are included as same day context, not counted as confirmed operations within the exact 72 hour window.
Gaza: Nuseirat and Khan Younis
On September 26, the IDF said it had struck Nuseirat the previous day, killing Ibrahim Fawzi Ismail Mohsen, whom it identified as a Nukhba platoon commander in Hamas's armed wing. A separate September 25 strike in Khan Younis killed Mohammed Kamel Suleiman Mohsen, whom the military also identified as a Hamas operative. The IDF said both had recently worked to rebuild Hamas capabilities and plan attacks in violation of the ceasefire. It did not give exact times for the strikes.
On September 27, the IDF and Shin Bet said a strike in Nuseirat the previous day had killed Saher Nidal Lotfi Saqr. They said he supplied weapons to Hamas, participated in the October 7 attack and drove the motorcycle used to abduct Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or from the Nova festival. Those details about his past are security service claims, not independently established in this review. The agencies said he had recently worked with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives on attack plans.
Southern Lebanon: depot and launch sites
The IDF said it struck a Hezbollah weapons depot near Sajoud on September 26, describing its contents as a threat to troops in the security zone. On September 27, it said Hezbollah had launched an explosive drone toward its forces overnight, causing no casualties, and that Israeli aircraft then struck facilities used for explosive drones and anti tank missiles, along with other infrastructure in several areas. The exact number of targets was not released.
Judea and Samaria and other areas
The official updates reviewed did not identify a specific strike or arrest raid in Judea and Samaria whose operational date could be confirmed within this exact window. On September 25, the IDF reported sealing the home of the suspected Neve Tzuf shooting attacker and transferring command responsibility for the Etzion and Judea brigades to Division 98. Both announcements preceded the 4:32 p.m. cutoff and are excluded. Other Gaza killings announced on September 25 and 27 concerned strikes earlier that week and are also excluded. No specifically dated operation elsewhere was established from the sources reviewed. That does not establish that no other operations occurred.
The strikes themselves are documented by official Israeli announcements. The identities, roles and alleged imminent threats attributed to those targeted remain claims by the IDF and Shin Bet. The sources reviewed did not provide a comprehensive independent civilian casualty assessment for these incidents.
