The commanders killed in the strike have been named as Iyad al-Hassani Abu Anas and Muhammad Abdel-Ael.
Hassani, head of Saraya Al-Quds Operations, has been wanted by Israeli forces for more than two decades.
Sources have told i24NEWS that the two commanders were in contact with PIJ assets in underground tunnels, and that they were preparing to launch something big.
A separate source has told i24NEWS that one of the killed PIJ commander was close to the armed wing of Hamas, who are now threatening to join rocket fire against Israel.
