IDF: The IDF eliminated the commander of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the Lebanon sector in Beirut

Overnight (Monday), the IDF struck in the Beirut area and eliminated Abu Hamza Rami, the commander of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organization in the Lebanon sector.

Rami had held this position for several years and was responsible for advancing and carrying out hundreds of terrorist attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians.

Recently, Rami continued to advance numerous terrorist attacks on behalf of the organization from within Lebanon, including training Nukhba terrorists, recruiting terrorists, and procuring weapons for the organization.

During Operation ‘Northern Arrows’, Rami also managed the movement of the organization’s terrorists along the Syria-Lebanon border and their activities against IDF troops in southern Lebanon.

His elimination constitutes a severe degradation of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s ability to carry out terror operations against the State of Israel and its citizens.

The IDF will continue to operate to thwart any threat posed to the State of Israel.
