Israeli forces have targeted and killed Jaber Aziz, the head of Hamas’s Sheikh Radwan Battalion, in an airstrike on Gaza. The operation struck command and control centers hidden within the Hassan Salama and Nasr schools in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan area.
Aziz, who had led the Sheikh Radwan Battalion since 2020, previously served as both Deputy Commander of this unit and as Commander of the Zeitoun Battalion. His involvement was crucial in orchestrating the October 7 attacks on Israel, where he played a significant role in planning and executing operations against both military and civilian targets.
The IDF’s action against Aziz is seen as a substantial blow to Hamas, significantly weakening its operational capabilities. His death marks a significant development in the ongoing conflict, impacting Hamas’s strategic planning and execution.
