Israel military: Hamas member behind rocket fire killed in Syria

[ad_1]

Israel’s military said on Monday IDF has killed Hassan Hakashah, a central figure responsible for rockets fired by Hamas from Syrian territory toward Israel in recent weeks in Beit Jinn. “We will not allow terrorism from Syrian territory and hold Syria responsible for all activity emanating from its territory.”
The sources, including a Syrian military intelligence officer and a commander in the regional alliance backing Damascus, said Israel had shifted strategies since the Oct.7 attack.
Although Israel has struck Iran-linked targets in Syria for years, including areas where Hezbollah has been active, it is now unleashing deadlier, more frequent air raids against Iranian arms transfers and air defence systems in Syria, the sources said. The commander in the regional alliance and two more sources said Israel seemed “no longer cautious” about inflicting heavy casualties on Hezbollah. The air campaign has killed 19 Hezbollah members in Syria in three months – more than twice the rest of 2023 combined.
