The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency confirmed on Tuesday the elimination of Azz al-Din Bik, identified as the commander of Hamas's Northern Gaza Brigade. Bik was killed in a precise airstrike overnight in northern Gaza.

Bik assumed command of the brigade following the death of his predecessor, Ahmed Ghandour. Previously, he served as the brigade's intelligence officer. In his role, Bik was responsible for directing and managing the brigade's operatives and advancing terror plans against Israeli forces and civilians. He also worked to rebuild the brigade's capabilities after it sustained significant damage during the ongoing conflict.

Security officials stated that Bik posed an immediate threat to Israeli forces and civilians. The IDF and Shin Bet emphasized that his elimination was the result of a targeted strike. Security forces remain deployed in the area and will continue to operate to neutralize immediate threats.
