VIDEO: Israeli Intelligence Services Eliminate Hamas Leader
On the morning of June 20, the IDF and SHABAK eliminated a Hamas leader and commander of the "Nukhba" battalion in Beit Hanoun, who personally participated in the attack on Israel on October 7, Ahmad Hasan Salami Al-Suarkha. Additionally, about a month ago, he participated in a sniper attack against IDF forces in Beit Hanoun, during which Captain Israel Yudkin was killed.
After Israeli intelligence (Unit 414) identified the terrorist's location on Sunday, June 16, and confirmed that no civilians were nearby, the army sent an unmanned aerial vehicle to the area, which precisely launched a missile at the spot where Al-Suarkha was located. He was standing on the roof of the "Gazi Al-Shawa" public school in northern Gaza.
As a result of the missile strike, he sustained serious injuries. He was hospitalized, and doctors managed to restore his pulse and breathing; however, he ultimately succumbed to his injuries. The military's press service also reminded that the 99th and 162nd divisions of the Israel Defense Forces continue to operate in central and southern Gaza. On the previous day, an Air Force fighter jet, in coordination with the 990th artillery brigade, destroyed a mortar position that had fired at our forces. Special unit forces also launched high-precision mortar shells at two terrorists who posed a threat to the troops.
