Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) officers have been contacting terror operatives in Gaza in recent months, presenting them with an ultimatum before targeted killings: either distance themselves from their families or risk them being harmed in an attack, according to a report in the Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat. The report indicates that at least five such incidents have occurred. In one case, a terrorist in Khan Younis was killed by an Israeli drone after receiving a call from a Shin Bet officer. The operative, identified as Muhammad al-Biyuk, was instructed to choose between the two options. He reportedly went to a rooftop after the call and was eliminated by a small missile fired from an Israeli drone. His family confirmed the details to the newspaper, with one relative stating that al-Biyuk's aunt was severely injured when she tried to prevent him from leaving alone following the phone call.
Sources in Gaza told the newspaper that this tactic is employed against operatives involved in military activities. However, senior figures in terror organizations are reportedly eliminated in broader strikes, even at the cost of civilian casualties. Some operatives who received these calls reportedly complied with the demand to distance themselves from their families to prevent harm to their relatives.
