The Israeli military and Shin Bet jointly eliminated Ramadan Diab, identified as the head of the Popular Resistance Committees in Khan Younis, in an airstrike Wednesday night in southern Gaza. Diab was reportedly responsible for advancing attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians and worked to restore the capabilities of the Hamas terror organization, while systematically violating the ceasefire. The strike aimed to neutralize the threat he posed.
The Popular Resistance Committees, established in 2000 and formerly affiliated with Fatah, is currently linked to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran's Revolutionary Guards. The group's operatives participated in the October 7th massacre, killing and abducting civilians and soldiers. Throughout the ongoing war, its members have carried out numerous attacks against IDF forces in cooperation with Hamas.
This assassination follows a series of recent strikes by the IDF in the Khan Younis area. Earlier this month, Ibrahim Allam, a commander in Hamas's military wing, was killed. The IDF stated that Allam infiltrated Israel on October 7th, participated in civilian killings, and aided in the transfer of the body of armored corps fighter Shaqed Dahan into captivity. Last week, an operative in Palestinian Islamic Jihad's military wing, who the army said was planning attacks, was eliminated in the same region.
