IDF Eliminates Hamas Northern Gaza Brigade Commander Who Survived Prior Assassination Attempt
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the elimination of Azz al-Din al-Bik, also known as Abu Hamza, the commander of Hamas's Northern Gaza Strip brigade. Al-Bik was killed in his home in the Nuseirat neighborhood of northern Gaza early Tuesday morning during a targeted strike. He had previously survived an assassination attempt.
According to details released, al-Bik was hiding with an associate in a house in northern Gaza and was killed in his bed. The strike was precise, utilizing methods designed to target him specifically without causing collateral damage. This operation marks the third Hamas brigade commander to be eliminated in recent weeks, following the deaths of the commanders of the Khan Yunis and Rafah brigades.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed al-Bik's assassination in a joint statement. They stated that al-Bik was involved in advancing terror plots against IDF forces and recruiting terrorists for Hamas. Both leaders praised the IDF and Shin Bet's operations against Hamas leadership and operatives.
Netanyahu and Katz affirmed Israel's continued commitment to dismantling Hamas, stating, "We will continue to hunt and pursue all the terrorists of the organization, from its commanders to the last of its operatives, wherever they hide, until Hamas is no more in Gaza."
