[IsraelTimes] In separate strike, military says, it killed sniper commander behind several deadly attacks on troops; both strikes come in response to Hamas violations of ceasefire
A Hamas
 ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
terrorist behind a deadly 2004 double suicide kaboom and a sniper commander in the terror group who committed several fatal attacks on IDF troops in the 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 during the war were killed in recent Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
s, the military announced on Wednesday.
The Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet security agency said that Basel Himouni, a prominent Hamas member from the West Bank city of Hebron, was targeted on February 4 as part of a series of Israeli airstrikes against terror operatives in response to an attack by button men on troops in the Strip’s north. One reservist officer was seriously maimed in the attack in northern Gaza.
In August 2004, Himouni dispatched two jacket wallahs to carry out simultaneous attacks on two buses in Beersheba.
The attacks killed 16 Israeli civilians and maimed over 100.
Himouni was captured in October 2004 and sentenced to prison, but was released and exiled to Gaza in a 2011 deal in which Israel exchanged 1,027 terror convicts for captive IDF soldier Gilad Shalit.
The military and Shin Bet said that after his release from Israeli custody, Himouni "returned to recruiting attackers and directing terrorist activity."
"As part of his role in Hamas, during the war, he was involved in manufacturing and planting bombs to harm our forces," the joint statement added.
Separately on Wednesday, the IDF said that a dronezap targeting a residential apartment in Gaza City’s al-Nasr neighborhood earlier in the week killed Ahmad Hassan, the commander of the sniper unit in Hamas’s Beit Hanoun Battalion.
Monday’s strike, which Paleostinian media reported had killed two men — both members of Hamas’s military wing — came in response to an attack by button men on troops in southern Gaza’s Rafah a day prior.
Hassan was behind numerous attacks on troops in northern Gaza, and had been recently identified as working to advance new attacks, the military said.
The IDF said that Hassan was involved in a roadside kaboom in Beit Hanoun on July 7, 2025, in which five troops were killed — Sgt. First Class (res.) Benyamin Asulin, Staff Sgt. Noam Aharon Musgadian, Staff Sgt. Meir Shimon Amar, Sgt. Moshe Nissim Frech, and Staff Sgt. Moshe Shmuel Noll — and 14 were maimed.
Hassan was also involved in an ambush on April 19, 2025, in which Warrant Officer G’haleb Sliman Alnasasra was killed, and five troops were maimed, as well as a sniper attack on April 24, 2025, in which Master Sgt. (res.) Asaf Cafri was killed and two troops were maimed, according to the IDF.
The Gaza City strike was one of two airstrikes that took place in response to the incident in Rafah. The second reportedly killed a member of Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
in the Strip’s center. The IDF did not immediately provide further details on the second strike.
The IDF said the Rafah attack, during which four button men emerged from a tunnel and opened fire on troops before being killed, was a "blatant violation of the ceasefire" between Israel and Hamas, and it viewed the incident "gravely."
