The IDF and Shin Bet announce it eliminated a senior Hamas commander who took part in a 2014 infiltration into Israel that killed five soldiers, APA reports citing Times of Israel.
Mahmoud Ibrahim Hassan Abu Hasira, the right hand of the commander of Hamas’s Gaza Brigade Izz Adin Haddad, was killed in a strike in Gaza City a few days ago, the military says.
During the 2014 IDF Operation Protective Edge, Abu Hasira took part in an attack alongside Nukhba Forces on July 28, 2014, when terrorists infiltrated Israel by tunnel from the Gaza Strip and attacked an outpost near Nahal Oz, killing five soldiers.
