For fifth time in the war: The commander of the Hamas Shejaiya battalion is eliminated 

The IDF and the Shin Bet attacked the Shejaiya area today (Tuesday), killing the terrorist Muhammad al-Ajlah, the replacement of the former commander of Hamas' Shejaiya Battalion, Haytam Raziq Abd al-Karim Sheikh Khalil, who was assassinated last week.

Throughout the war, the terrorist Al-Ajlah served as the commander of a combat support company in the Shejaiya Battalion, and was responsible for supplying weapons to the terrorists of the battalion to carry out terrorist acts against IDF forces and the citizens of the State of Israel.

The terrorist is the fifth commander of Hamas' Shajaiya Battalion which has been killed since the beginning of the war and for the third time since the beginning of Operation Oz and Sword.

Prior to the attack, steps were taken to reduce the chance of civilian casualties, including providing early warning to civilians, using precision munitions, and aerial observations.
