IDF and Shin Bet Eliminate Hamas Sniper Cell Leader in Rafah
The Israeli military and the Shin Bet security agency announced on Tuesday the elimination of a Hamas sniper cell leader operating within the organization's Rafah brigade. The strike targeted Ahmed Hassan, identified as the commander of the sniper unit in Rafah, and was carried out in coordination with the Air Force.
Hassan was reportedly responsible for multiple sniper attacks against IDF soldiers operating in the Gaza Strip. The operation was part of ongoing efforts to dismantle Hamas's military infrastructure and neutralize its operatives.
The IDF stated that Hassan's elimination is a significant blow to Hamas's sniper capabilities in the southern Gaza city. The military continues to conduct operations in Rafah aimed at defeating Hamas's remaining battalions and infrastructure.
