The IDF and ISA struck in the Deir al-Balah area on Sunday and eliminated the terrorist Wael Musa Khaled Ladawi, the Head of Hamas' Internal Security in the Central Gaza Strip. Hamas' Internal Security apparatus is a central and clandestine body within the Hamas terrorist organization. According to the IDF, under Ladawi's command, the apparatus collected intelligence for senior Hamas officials, supporting their decision-making and facilitating the planning and execution of terrorist attacks against the State of Israel. The IDF stressed that before the strike, steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance.
