IDF attacks Hamas commander Ahmed Hassan Alsauarka with airstrike

Based on intelligence from the Israeli Defense Forces and Shin Bet (Israeli domestic intelligence service), an Israeli Air Force aircraft eliminated Hamas terrorist Ahmed Hassan Salame Alsauarka in a targeted air strike, the military said on Thursday morning.

Alsauarka was a group commander of the Nukhba forces that participated in the October 7 massacres in southern Israel. In addition, Alsauarka was a Hamas sniper who led sniper activities in the Beit Hanoun area and was involved in several attacks on IDF soldiers.

After an extensive search, the Israeli army managed to identify and eliminate Alasuarka in the Beit Hanoun area, minimizing harm to the civilian population during the operation.

As a result, no civilians were injured in the attack.
