The IDF confirmed this evening (Saturday night) that the senior Hamas official eliminated in Rafah last night was Hassan Atrash. Atrash was responsible for producing, trading, and equipping the military wing of Hamas with weapons. According to the IDF spokesperson, Atrash was eliminated by IDF forces with the aid of the Shin Bet in an air strike.
Watch:
According to the IDF, Atrash also participated in the smuggling of weapons from various countries into the Gaza Strip and was also involved in smuggling weapons into Judea and Samaria in recent times.
Three days ago, the IDF reported that in a targeted action in the heart of Rafah, an IDF fighter plane eliminated Subhi Farwanah with the aid of IDF intelligence and the Shin Bet. Farwanah was a prominent money man who was closely involved, along with his brother, in getting tens of millions of dollars to Hamas and especially its military wing in the Gaza Strip, via the money transfer money exchange institution they ran.
