The strike on Hamas military commander Izz al-Din Haddad was approved by Israel's political echelon about ten days ago, a senior Israeli security official says. He had been under continuous surveillance since, and was struck last night when an operational opportunity presented itself.
Haddad was the highest-ranking Hamas military leader still alive in Gaza and the last senior official who led the October 7 attack. A military source says he spent the war moving between hiding spots, using hostages, including female surveillance soldiers taken from the Nahal Oz base, as human shields against Israeli strikes.
The IAF hit the target shortly after Southern Command and Military Intelligence confirmed his position.
IDF and Shin Bet eliminated a Hamas terrorist who took part in the October 7 raid on the Nahal Oz outpost. Soldiers were killed and kidnapped in that attack.
