A joint statement to the IDF spokesperson and the Shin Bet spokeswoman: The IDF and the Shin Bet eliminated the holder of the operations file of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip.
Air Force fighter jets, under the precise intelligence guidance of the Army Intelligence, the Shin Bet and the Southern Command, attacked in a targeted manner yesterday (Saturday) and killed the terrorist Muhammad Abu Saheel, the holder of the operations file of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip , who operated in a command and control complex in the area that was previously used as the "Fahed Al-Tzabah" school in the north of the Gaza Strip.
The terrorist Abu Saheel was a central factor for the PIJ terrorist organization in the planning and execution of terrorist plans, in the formulation of situation assessments and in the coordination of terrorist operations with the Hamas terrorist organization against the citizens of the State of Israel and the IDF forces operating in the Gaza Strip.
Before the attack, many steps were taken to reduce the chance of harming civilians, including aerial observations and accurate intelligence information.
This is another example of the systematic use by the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip of infrastructure and the civilian population as a human shield for terrorist activity.
