Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) officers have been calling Palestinian terror operatives in Gaza in recent months, presenting them with an ultimatum before targeted killings, according to a report in the Saudi newspaper "Asharq Al-Awsat." The operatives are reportedly told to distance themselves from their families or risk their relatives being killed alongside them in an attack.
At least five such incidents have occurred in recent months, the report states. In one case on Wednesday, a terror operative named Mohammed al-Biyuk in Khan Younis received a call from a Shin Bet officer. Following the call, al-Biyuk went to the roof of a building and was killed by an Israeli drone strike.
Family members of al-Biyuk confirmed the incident to the newspaper. One relative recounted that al-Biyuk's aunt was severely injured when she tried to prevent him from leaving alone after the phone call.
Sources in Gaza told the newspaper that this tactic is used against operatives involved in military activities. However, senior figures in terror organizations are reportedly eliminated in larger-scale strikes, even at the cost of civilian casualties. Some operatives reportedly complied with the demand to distance themselves from their families to prevent their relatives' deaths.
