The IDF and Shin Bet have eliminated Rashid Jahjuh, the head of Hamas’ General Security Forces, alongside Ayman Atsalih, the head of Hamas� Khan Yunis sector within the same division.

Jahjuh, who took over after his predecessor Sami Oudeh was eliminated in July 2024, was at the helm of Hamas� clandestine intelligence operations, responsible for exposing so-called �collaborators,� safeguarding senior Hamas officials, and ensuring the terror group�s iron grip over Gaza. Additionally, he played a key role in Hamas� propaganda machine, manipulating public perception and rallying support for its militant agenda.

“This is a strategic strike against Hamas’ leadership infrastructure,” an Israeli security source stated, emphasizing that Jahjuh�s elimination cripples Hamas� ability to execute terror operations against Israel.

The operation also eliminated Ismail Abd al-Aal, a senior figure within the Islamic Jihad�s Weapons Smuggling Unit. Abd al-Aal was a pivotal figure in smuggling weapons into Gaza, facilitating the terror group�s ability to stockpile arms and orchestrate attacks against Israeli civilians.
