The IDF<\/a>, in coordination\u00a0with Shin Bet<\/a> (Israel Security Agency), killed the commander of Hamas’s Jabaliya Battalion in a strike in the northern Gaza Strip on Monday night, the military announced on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The terrorist, identified as Ahmad Batash, was responsible for managing logistics for the Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades Northern Gaza<\/a> Brigade and was an integral part of supplying weapons and equipment to Hamas terrorists in the region.<\/p>\n

He was actively working to “restore the terrorist organization’s capabilities, in systematic violation of the ceasefire,” the military said.<\/p>\n

Batash recently led attacks on IDF troops and Israeli civilians, according to the military<\/p>\n

Batash’s killing is a continuation of IDF and Shin Bet counterterrorism operations across the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

This marks at least the fifth terrorist serving in command and force-building positions killed this week.<\/p>\n

At least four Hamas commanders were killed on Monday, with one top commander from Hamas\u2019s Gaza City Brigade killed in an overnight strike.<\/p>\n

Later on Tuesday, the IDF announced it killed Mohsen Farid Said Abu Hadaf, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist who infiltrated the Kissufim area during the October 7 massacre, in strikes last week in the area of Khan Yunis.<\/p>\n

Hadaf also served as a PIJ rocket cell commander and had recently “advanced terror attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians in systematic violation of the ceasefire,” the military said.<\/p>\n
