The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the elimination of the head of the government of the radical Palestinian movement Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Ravi Mushtah. The corresponding message was published in the official Telegram-Israeli army channel.
The IDF also reported that along with Mushtah, the head of the security service in the Hamas Politburo and the movement’s Labor Committee, Sameh al-Sarraj, as well as the commander of Hamas’s general security, Sami Odeh, were eliminated.
“In a precision strike carried out (…) based on intelligence, Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck and killed the terrorists while they were hiding in a fortified and equipped underground complex in the north of the Gaza Strip. The compound served as a Hamas command and control center and allowed senior operatives to remain inside it for long periods of time,” the statement said.
Earlier, the Israeli military eliminated the commander of the Imam Hussein division of the Shiite Lebanese movement Hezbollah, Du al-Faqar Hanauwi, in Beirut. Along with him, Muhammad Jaouad Kathir, who was responsible for supplying weapons to the fighters of the movement from Iran to Lebanon, was liquidated.
