The Hebrew newspaper Ma'ariv: IDF spokesman: The IDF and the Shin Bet assassinated Tuesday in the Gaza City area and killed Muhammad Halawa, the commander of the military intelligence service in the military wing of the Hamas movement.
In another assassination on Thursday last week, the IDF assassinated Ahmed Zahir Fouad Abu Odeh, a commander in the engineering unit of the military wing of the Hamas movement.
Throughout the war, and especially recently, these elements sought to carry out military operations against IDF forces and Israeli citizens, and worked to restore the capabilities of the Hamas movement while systematically violating the ceasefire. They were targeted in the air to remove the threat they posed.
