The IDF has taken out another top Hamas terrorist, this one the commander of Hamas' Al-Furqan Battalion, Jaber Aziz, who played a “significant role” in planning the Oct. 7 atrocities and who directed numerous other attacks against Israel.

Despite the Hamas propaganda machine constantly pushing the narrative that Israel doesn’t care about civilian casualties in Gaza, it was Aziz who was hiding in a terrorist command and control center embedded within the "Hassan Salame" and "Nasser" schools in Gaza City. Nice.

Aziz has been the Commander of Hamas' Al-Furqan Battalion since 2020, previously serving as Deputy Commander of both the Al-Furqan and Zaytun Battalions, and Commander of the Zaytun Battalion. The strike targeted terrorists operating within "Hassan Salame" and "Nasser" schools. He played a significant role in planning the Oct. 7 massacre and led numerous terrorist attacks against the IDF and Israel.

Aziz adds to a growing list of terrorist leaders taken out by Israel in recent weeks. Iran has been threatening retaliation for the killing of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and the removal of Fuad Shukr, the Hezbollah commander who ordered a drone attack on a soccer field that killed 12 teens and children.
