The FDI and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) led an air strike, killing the commander of the naval force of Hamas Ramzi Ramadan Abd Ali Saleh in the North Gaza Strip last Monday, the army confirmed on Sunday.
Saleh was in a structure of Gaza City, with the deputy chief of the Arborescence cell of Hamas mortar shells, Hisham Ayman Atiya Mansour, and the terrorist of the mortar shell Nissim Muhammad Suleiman Abu Sabha, who were both killed in the same strike, added the army.
Saleh had been an “important source of knowledge in Hamas and was involved in the planning and progression of maritime terrorist attacks against the troops of TSAhal operating in Gaza”, noted the army.
Meanwhile, soldiers from the Nahal de Tsahal brigade, under the 162nd division, operated in Daraj Tuffah of Gaza.
During these recent operations, they located and dismantled “terrorist infrastructure sites, including military structures containing explosives, weapons stocks and eliminated several Hamas terrorists”.
