IDF eliminates Hamas sniper commander behind northern Gaza attacks

In response to a blatant violation of the ceasefire earlier this week, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) targeted and killed terrorist Ahmad Hasan, who was involved in planning attacks against IDF soldiers in the northern Gaza Strip.

According to a joint statement by the IDF and the Israeli Security Agency (ISA) on the IDF’s Telegram channel, Ahmad Hasan, head of a sniper unit in a Hamas battalion in Beit Hanoun, was recently identified as actively planning additional attacks against IDF soldiers, Caliber.Az reports.

“The terrorist led the attack in which Sergeant First Class (res.) Benyamin Asulin, Staff Sergeant Noam Aharon Musgadian, Staff Sergeant Meir Shimon Amar, Sergeant Moshe Nissim Frech, and Staff Sergeant Moshe Shmuel Noll were killed, and two additional soldiers were severely injured on July 7th, 2025.

Additionally, the terrorist took part in advancing the terror attack in which Warrant Officer G'haleb Sliman Nasasra was killed, as well as a tracker, combat officer and a female combat medic were severely injured on April 19th, 2025. This was in addition to another terror attack advanced by the terrorist, in which Master Sergeant (res.) Asaf Cafri was killed, and two additional soldiers were severely injured on April 24th, 2025.

The IDF will continue to operate against any attempt by the terror organisations in the Gaza Strip to carry out terror attacks against the IDF troops and the State of Israel,” the statement concluded.
