ELIMINATED: Muhammad Suleiman Byouk, a commander in the military wing of Hamas

Translated Text:

🔴ELIMINATED: Muhammad Suleiman Byouk, a commander in the military wing of Hamas.

The terrorist infiltrated Israel during the October 7 Massacre. He operated to place explosive devices at various points in Gaza with the aim of harming IDF troops.

In addition, he planned and promoted terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops, and worked to rehabilitate Hamas's capabilities, in systematic violation of the ceasefire.

He was eliminated in order to neutralize the threat he posed.
The Times of Israel adds:
A Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
commander who invaded Israel during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, onslaught was killed in an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
in the southern Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip last week, the Israel Defense Forces announced Saturday, as Paleostinian media reported several people killed in separate Israeli strikes across the enclave.

The Thursday strike in Khan Younis killed Mohammed Suleiman Byouk, a commander in Hamas’s military wing, according to the IDF.

Separately, Paleostinian media reported that at least five people, including a girl, were killed in Israeli strikes in northern and central Gaza on Saturday.

In the northern Jabalia refugee camp, a young man who was killed was identified as Basir al-Bursh, the son of Munir al-Bursh, director-general of the Strip’s Hamas-run health ministry. Footage from Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital showed the elder al-Bursh mourning over his son’s body.

Another man was reportedly killed in Gaza City’s eastern Shejaiya neighborhood, with his body taken to the city’s al-Ahli Baptist Hospital.

Farther south, a girl was fatally maimed in an Israeli strike on the Nuseirat refugee camp, according to a statement cited by Arabic media from al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Hospital in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah.

The man killed in Shejaiya and the girl killed in Nuseirat were not immediately identified in major news outlets.

Later Saturday, Palestinian media reported that two more people were killed and several others wounded in an Israeli strike on a vehicle in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood.

The IDF did not immediately comment on any of the reports regarding strikes on Saturday

IDF: Slain Hamas Rafah Brigade commander involved in holding hostages, including Hadar Goldin’s body
[IsraelTimes] The commander of Hamas’s Rafah Brigade, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike last week, was involved in holding hostages during the war, as well as holding the body of Lt. Hadar Goldin in the years prior, according to the military.

Following a review of intelligence, the IDF and Shin Bet say that Nael Abu Obeid “was involved in the abduction and holding of IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians for years and during the war.”

In 2014, Abu Obeid was the deputy commander of the Rafah Brigade. During that time, he took part in holding the body of Goldin, an officer with the Givati Brigade, whose body was only returned last year.

During the current war, the military says Abu Obeid held several hostages, including tank soldier Sgt. 1st Class Nimrod Cohen, in a major tunnel system under Rafah.
