The Israel Defense Forces have announced the successful elimination of several senior figures in Hamas through a joint operation with the Israeli Security Agency (ISA). This operation, carried out on Monday, involved IDF fighter jets acting on intelligence provided by both the IDF and ISA.
The IDF reported that the targeted senior Hamas operatives in Rafah were instrumental in supporting the military wing of Hamas in maintaining control and conducting operations in the field. The individuals identified by the IDF include Sayid Katab Alkhashash, Osama Hamd Zaher, Muhammad Aud Almelalakhi, and Hadi Abu Alrus Kasin. These individuals held key positions within Hamas, with roles such as heading the Emergency Bureau in Northern and Eastern Rafah and serving as an operations officer.
According to the IDF, the eliminated senior operatives were crucial representatives of Hamas' leadership in Rafah. They oversaw the organization's activities in humanitarian zones and coordinated with Hamas operatives in the field. By targeting these individuals, the IDF aimed to disrupt Hamas' operations and weaken its leadership structure in the region.
This joint operation between the IDF and ISA underscores Israel's commitment to combating terrorism and ensuring the security of its citizens. The successful elimination of these senior Hamas figures is a significant blow to the terrorist organization's capabilities and demonstrates Israel's resolve in confronting threats to its national security.
