IDF forces this morning (Tuesday) bombed the home of senior Hamas member Salah al-Aruri, the deputy head of the political bureau and the person responsible for the organization in Judea and Samaria.
Al-Aruri, who has been residing in Turkey in recent years, manages the terrorist organization's activities from there.
In recent reports in Srugim, it was revealed that on the last Saturday, IDF soldiers and the Shin Bet operated in the village of Arura near Ramallah. They established their command post in the home of the second-in-command of Hamas in Judea and Samaria, Salah al-Aruri, and hung a Star of David sign on which they wrote: "This was the house of al-Aruri, which turned into the headquarters of Abu al-Namr from the Shin Bet."
Yesterday, ground forces continued to operate in the Gaza Strip. According to an IDF spokesperson's statement, in encounters with terrorists, IDF soldiers, with the assistance of combat helicopters and remotely piloted aircraft operated by the forces, eliminated terrorists who attempted to harm the troops.
It was also reported that the fighters destroyed terrorist infrastructure, including anti-tank missile positions and additional firing positions.
Prominent activists in the Hamas organization were eliminated
In another action, the IDF eliminated several Hamas terrorist operatives, including Jamil Baba, the commander of the naval force in the central camps, Mahmad Safadi, the commander of the anti-tank unit in the Tafah Brigade, Mawamman Hagazi, a prominent figure in the anti-tank unit of the Tafah Brigade, and Muhammad Awadallah, who held a senior position in Hamas' production headquarters.
