A senior member of Hamas’s general security forces was killed in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip yesterday, the military announces.
According to the IDF, Walid Alsousi was a member of Hamas’s military wing as well as the head of a department in the terror group’s general security forces in the southern Gaza Strip.
The IDF says Alsousi was responsible for building an “intelligence picture” for Hamas, using sources across Gaza.
He was killed yesterday in a fighter jet airstrike, the IDF says.
Meanwhile, troops of the 98th Division are pressing on with an offensive in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, where the military says troops killed dozens of gunmen and destroyed sites used by terror groups over the past day.
Further south, in Rafah, troops with the 162nd Division killed several more gunmen and seized weapons hidden in homes, the IDF says.
The IDF also says that this past week, several terrorists who participated in the October 7 onslaught were killed in strikes carried out by the 215th Artillery Regiment.
