The Israeli army said on Wednesday it deliberately killed a key commander of the Islamist Hamas in Rafah, southern Gaza. Based on intelligence information, a fighter jet “targeted and eliminated precisely the terrorist in the Hamas operational unit in the Rafah area,” the military said in a statement.
Muhammad Abu Hasna was active in the military wing of the terrorist organization Hamas. He was also involved in “appropriating humanitarian aid supplies and distributing them to Hamas terrorists.” Hasna also coordinated the activities of several Hamas units.
He is said to have headed Hamas’s headquarters
He was also responsible for an operations center that relayed information about Israeli army positions to assist with Hamas attacks. His targeted killing would significantly damage the operational capabilities of several Hamas units in Rafah, the statement said.
Israel is planning a military offensive in Rafah despite international warnings. In the city on the border with Egypt, an estimated 1.5 million Palestinians are currently seeking shelter from the fighting in other areas of the Gaza Strip, in a limited space and in appalling conditions. The war was sparked by a massacre in which terrorists from Hamas and other extremist groups killed about 1,200 people and kidnapped 250 others in Israel on October 7.
