Fighters from the Yam and Shin Bet, in cooperation with IDF forces, killed terrorist Hussam Mallah this evening (Wednesday) in Tulkarm, under Shin Bet intelligence guidance.
This is a senior figure in Hamas's terror infrastructure in the region, who was involved in planning attacks in the immediate future.
The terrorist worked to promote attacks together with Islam Odeh, who was eliminated on October 26 in an operation in Tulkarm, and Zahi Ofi, who was eliminated in an airstrike on October 3 and was responsible for planning significant attacks that were to be carried out on the first anniversary of October 7.
""After their elimination, Hassam led Hamas's terror infrastructure in Tulkarm and in recent days was busy planning an attack in the immediate future.".
""The security forces will continue to act to thwart attacks, terrorists, and terrorist infrastructure to maintain the security of the State of Israel," the police and Shin Bet said.
