The Israeli military (IDF) and Shin Bet intelligence agency confirmed on Tuesday the elimination of Akram Bassam Shaaban Yassin, identified as a senior official in Hamas's General Security apparatus in Gaza City. The strike, conducted with intelligence guidance, is part of an ongoing effort to target Hamas leadership and weaken its capabilities in the Gaza Strip. This operation follows a similar strike approximately four months prior, which also eliminated senior figures within Hamas's General Security apparatus. This apparatus is described as a central and clandestine body responsible for the security of Hamas leaders, intelligence gathering, and planning terror attacks against Israel.
The military stated that this individual was actively promoting terror plots against Israeli forces and civilians and attempting to rebuild the organization's military capabilities, in violation of the ceasefire. The strike was carried out by air to neutralize the threat, with measures taken to minimize civilian harm, including precise munitions and aerial observation. The IDF stated that security forces in the Southern Command are deployed and will continue to operate to remove any threats.
