The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) successfully eliminated a senior Hamas official, Ez al-Din al-Bik, commander of the terror group's Northern Gaza Brigade, in an airstrike on a residence in Gaza City. The operation, confirmed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, targeted al-Bik while he was in bed, utilizing precise methods to minimize collateral damage. Al-Bik was reportedly involved in advancing terror plots against IDF forces and recruiting operatives for Hamas.
Al-Bik, born in 1981, joined Hamas early in his life and rose through the ranks, joining the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing, in 2000. He had survived a previous assassination attempt in May, during which another Hamas commander was killed. His elimination follows a series of recent targeted killings of Hamas brigade commanders, including those leading the Khan Yunis and Rafah brigades within the past month.
In a joint statement, Netanyahu and Katz praised the IDF and Shin Bet's operations against Hamas leadership, vowing to continue pursuing the group's operatives "wherever they hide." They reiterated their goal of eliminating Hamas in Gaza, stating, "Until there is no Hamas in Gaza."
