The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israel Securities Authority confirmed the elimination of three senior Hamas officials, including Rawhi Mushtaha, in a precision airstrike on a fortified compound in northern Gaza. This operation, which occurred three months ago, was disclosed recently amid escalating tensions. Mushtaha, a close associate of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, was influential in the group’s military and civil governance strategies. Along with Mushtaha, Sameh al-Siraj and Sami Oudeh were also killed.
