ISRAELI SPECIAL FORCES ASSASSINATE HAMAS COMMANDER SPARKING NEW ESCALATION IN GAZAOn November 11, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades [the military wing of the Hamas Movement] announced that a unit of Israeli special forces had assassinated one of its senior commanders inside the Gaza Strip.
According to the official statement of the al-Qassam Brigades, the special forces unit sneaked into the city of Khan Yunis in the southern part of Gaza and killed the commander. On its way back, fighters of al-Qassam noticed the Israeli unit and clashed with it. However, Israeli warplanes stepped in and began conducting airstrikes to cover the unit.
“Enemy warplanes intervened and carried out airstrikes to cover the withdrawal of the special unit, which resulted in the martyrdom of many of our people,” the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades said in the official statement.
Palestinian sources said that “Nur Barake,” a deputy commander of an elite unit of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, was the target of the Israeli special operation. Five other Palestinian civilians and fighters were reportedly killed as a result of the clashes and the Israeli airstrikes.
The Israeli military confirmed that it had carried out an operation inside the Gaza Strip and said that none of the personnel involved in the operation were captured. However, the Israeli media claimed that an Israeli service member was killed and another one was injured during the clashes.
