The Israeli military (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency announced the elimination of Jamal Abu Said, identified as the head of the Operations Department in Hamas's Military Intelligence. Abu Said was killed in an airstrike in Gaza City earlier this week. According to the IDF, he continued to advance terror plans and work on restoring Hamas's military capabilities. During the recent war, Abu Said held Israeli hostage Omer Shem Tov. Abu Said was described as a senior figure in Hamas's military wing, with extensive experience in various operational areas, including commanding forces, training operatives, and maintaining ties with foreign countries. He previously served as a commander of an anti-tank missile battalion and was responsible for military specializations within the organization's Central Camps Brigade. Furthermore, he oversaw the training of military operatives outside the Gaza Strip, connecting Hamas's military apparatus in Gaza with external training activities. The IDF stated that his accumulated experience and knowledge of the organization's operational domains made him a significant source of intelligence for Hamas. The IDF and Shin Bet further reported that throughout the war, and particularly recently, Abu Said actively promoted terror attacks against IDF forces and Israeli civilians while simultaneously working to rebuild Hamas's military strength.
