The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency announced Tuesday they had eliminated Akram Bassam Shaaban Yassin, a senior official in Hamas's General, in an airstrike in Gaza City. The General is a clandestine unit responsible for the security of Hamas leaders, gathering intelligence on security forces, and aiding the organization in planning terror attacks against Israel.

This strike follows a similar operation approximately four months ago that eliminated other senior Hamas security officials. The elimination of Yassin is part of an ongoing effort to degrade the capabilities of Hamas's security apparatus in the Gaza Strip.

According to the joint statement, Yassin had recently been advancing terror plots against IDF forces and Israeli civilians and attempting to rebuild the organization's military capabilities, in violation of the ceasefire. He was eliminated by an airstrike to neutralize the threat he posed.
