Saudi newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reports that Israeli security services are employing an unusual tactic of targeted assassinations in Gaza, involving prior phone calls to militants. According to the newspaper's sources, Shin Bet officers contact terrorists before strikes, demanding they move away from family members and civilians. This strategy, enabled by precise intelligence and high-precision munitions, aims to minimize collateral damage and civilian casualties.
The report details the assassination of Muhammad Aliyan Biyuk, a militant from the Nukhba unit of Hamas's military wing. Family members and local residents stated that an Israeli security service officer called Biyuk, informing him of the impending strike and ordering him to exit the building and go to the roof to protect those nearby. After he complied, a small missile from a drone struck him, causing minimal damage to the building. A relative who tried to prevent him from going to the roof was seriously injured.
Some of Biyuk's family members declined to comment, while others, including his nephew who witnessed the event, confirmed the report's accuracy. Sources in Gaza indicate that similar warning calls have been made in at least five other incidents involving militants from terrorist groups over the past three months.
