IDF fighter jets, under the direction of military intelligence and the Shin Bet, has eliminated Muhammad A'sar, the head of Hamas' anti-tank force in the Gaza Strip. A'sar's forces have been heavily involved in the battles against Israel's security forces in northern Gaza in recent days.

In his position, A'sar was responsible for all anti-tank forces among the various Hamas brigades in Gaza and was involved in activating those forces when Hamas launched its war on Israel on October 7.

At A'sar's direction, numerous attacks were committed against Israeli military forces and civilians using anti-tank missiles.

Yesterday (Tuesday), IAF jets eliminated Ibrahim Biari, the Commander of Hamas' Central Jabaliya Battalion. Biari was one of the leaders responsible for sending terrorist operatives from the "Nukhba" force to Israel to carry out the murderous terror attack on October 7th. Many other Hamas terrorists were caught in the strike.

Biari oversaw all military operations in the northern Gaza Strip since the IDF entered. He was also responsible for sending the terrorists who carried out the 2004 terrorist attack in the Ashdod Port in which 13 Israelis were murdered, and was responsible for directing rocket fire at Israel, and advancing numerous attacks against the IDF, over the last two decades.

His elimination was carried out as part of a wide-scale strike on terrorists and terror infrastructure belonging to the Central Jabaliya Battalion, which had taken control over civilian buildings in Gaza City. The strike damaged Hamas’ command and control in the area, as well as its ability to direct military activity against IDF soldiers operating throughout the Gaza Strip.
