The IDF announced today (Thursday) that it killed Adam Muhammad Ibrahim Abu Hadaid, a commander in the production unit of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organization, in a strike carried out the day before yesterday in the Khan Younis area in southern Gaza.
The IDF said Abu Hadaid was a senior figure in the organization’s production unit, which was responsible for manufacturing and supplying weapons to the military wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad. As part of his role, he was involved in the development and production of weapons and, among other things, led infrastructure that worked to expand the organization’s production capabilities for the purpose of carrying out attacks against IDF forces and Israeli civilians.
The IDF noted that the terrorist posed an immediate threat to the forces and was therefore killed in a precise strike. It was also reported that IDF forces under Southern Command continue to operate throughout the Strip in accordance with the existing agreements, with the goal of removing threats and damaging terrorist infrastructure.
