IDF eliminates another Hamas battalion commander in precise air strike
The Israeli army eliminated the Hamas commander of the Deir al-Balah Battalion during an airstrike overnight, the IDF reported on Monday afternoon.
Following intelligence by the Shin Bet and IDF intelligence, a fighter jet of the Israeli Air Force killed Wa’el Asfa, who commanded the Deir al-Balah battalion of Hamas’ Central Camps Brigade.
Asfa took an active role in sending Hamas terrorists into Israel during the murderous assault that started the war on Oct. 7.
The Hamas senior leader served a 6-year prison sentence in Israel between 1992-1998 for involvement in attacks against Israeli settlements, and also incited further attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops over the years, the IDF stated.
