The IDF and Shin Bet, in a joint statement, confirm killing Hamas spokesman Abdul Latif al-Qanou in an airstrike in the northern Gaza Strip last night.
According to the military and Shin Bet, Qanou also served as an operative in the terror group’s military wing, in addition to being one of Hamas’s “key inciters” as its spokesman.
“Qanou systematically used media platforms for propaganda purposes, psychological terror, and the distribution of false information regarding Hamas’s activities in the Gaza Strip and outside of it,” the statement says.
“For years, Qanou was one of Hamas’s key spokesmen, spreading lies, inciting terrorist activities, and advancing the terrorist organization’s agenda, which calls for the destruction of the State of Israel,” it adds.
