Strike on UNRWA facility in Rafah took out Hamas commander who stole aid, says IDF
2024-03-14
[IsraelTimes] Military, Shin Bet say Muhammad Abu Hasna operated a Hamas intelligence war room, also involved in seizing humanitarian supplies and distributing to operatives

The Israel Defense Forces said that a strike Wednesday on an UNRWA facility in Rafah was a successful operation to kill a Hamas commander.

Hamas claimed that five people were killed in the strike, and UNRWA said that at least one of its staff members was killed.
Overlapping sets, no doubt.
The IDF said that Muhammad Abu Hasna, a commander in the terror group’s operations unit, was eliminated in the strike. According to a joint statement from the IDF and the Shin Bet, Hasna was involved in seizing humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip and distributing it to Hamas operatives.

Muhammad Abu Hasna was involved in “integrating extensive activity of the various Hamas units, was in contact with the field operatives of Hamas and directed them,” the IDF and Shin Bet said in a joint statement.

The statement said Abu Hasna was also tasked with a Hamas intelligence war room that collected information on IDF movements in the Strip.

The IDF and Shin Bet also accused Hasna of involvement in seizing humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip and distributing it to Hamas operatives.

Abu Hasna’s elimination “significantly harms the functioning of various Hamas units in Rafah,” the statement added.

The IDF published footage of the strike on Abu Hasna.

#3  LOL. A Hamas terrorist and murderer, but the reason it's OK he's dead is because he stole aid.
