Israel eliminated senior Hamas operative Khalid Ahmad Ahmad via an airstrike near Sidon, Lebanon on Wednesday, according to the Israeli military.
Ahmad served as head of operations in Hamas’s Western Brigade in Lebanon, and was directly involved in orchestrating terror attacks against Israeli civilians and military forces throughout the ongoing war, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
In recent weeks, Ahmad was engaged in weapons smuggling and planning further attacks on Israeli territory, the IDF said. The military described his activity as a “direct threat to the State of Israel and its citizens.”
His elimination followed a series of Israeli strikes targeting Hezbollah infrastructure and personnel across Lebanon.
