Two Hamas Commanders Killed in Israeli Attack on Jenin Camp

Israel announced that in a drone strike on a vehicle in the Jenin camp, located in the West Bank, two commanders of the extremist group Hamas were killed. Hamas is designated as a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union. The Israeli army and the country's internal security agency, Shin Bet, stated in a joint statement on Saturday evening, August 27, that the drone strike resulted in the deaths of 'Raft Dawasi' and 'Ahmad Abu Ara', two military commanders of Hamas. According to the statement, these individuals were involved in several 'terrorist attacks', including last week's attack in the Jordan Valley that resulted in the death of an Israeli soldier named Yonatan Deutsch. The Israeli army identified Raft Dawasi as a senior member of Hamas in Jenin and Ahmad Abu Ara as someone involved in the production of explosives. Media affiliated with the extremist group Hamas confirmed their deaths by publishing images of the two. Since the beginning of the Gaza war, Israel has targeted the Jenin camp multiple times with airstrikes. The Jenin refugee camp is located in the city of Jenin in northern West Bank, and the 'Jenin Brigade', composed of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Fatah groups, is active in this camp.
