The IDF is ramping up strikes against Hamas terrorists who took part in the October 7 massacre, along with senior Hamas commanders.
Most of these Hamas figures have not been in hiding, making them relatively easy to locate and target.
The process begins with the Shin Bet and NILI (the task force established to identify and track every terrorist involved in the October 7 attack). Once a target is verified, the intelligence is passed to AMAN (the IDF Military Intelligence Directorate), which works with the IDF to plan and carry out the strike.

"Abu Salem took part in abducting Israeli civilians from their homes and holding them in captivity," the military says, adding he recently sought to advance attacks on troops and civilians and "posed a threat."

Former Hamas member and former Shin Bet informant Mosab Hassan Yousef:
Israel's existence is not a negotiable and it does not depend on superpowers or the public opinion. And if they keep pushing Israel to the corner, they are the ones who are gonna suffer the most.
Israel hasn't used everything that it has and Israel on a purpose did not expose the advanced weapons that it has for very important reason.
We don't want the enemy to know what we are having and now at this point we're just playing around.
So this is the clear message to those who think they can annihilate Israel.

Israel's Navy recently thwarted a jet ski infiltration attempt from Jordan toward Eilat's hotel zone, damaging the vessel before it retreated. Defense officials suspect it was remotely controlled as a test of Israeli defenses. A joint investigation with Jordan is underway.
The Navy has since raised its alert level. Shin Bet chief David Zini reportedly warned in closed sessions that Eilat could be the site of "the next October 7," though the Shin Bet says no specific current threat exists. Security in the area had already been bolstered months earlier with IDF and police drills simulating raids and attacks.
