The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency announced the elimination of Akram Bassam Shaaban Yassin, a senior leader in Hamas's internal security service, in Gaza City. Yassin was killed in an airstrike based on intelligence provided by the Shin Bet.

Hamas's internal security service is responsible for protecting the organization's leaders, facilitating their movement between safe houses, and gathering intelligence, including information on Israeli security forces. This intelligence is utilized by Hamas leadership in planning attacks against Israel.

The IDF stated that Yassin had recently been involved in preparing attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians. He was also reportedly working to restore Hamas's military capabilities, thereby violating ceasefire terms.

According to the army, measures were taken to minimize civilian casualties before the strike, including the use of precision-guided munitions and aerial surveillance.
