On Thursday, the IDF announced that an airstrike this past Sunday eliminated Muhammad Jawad Muhammad al-Bawab, the commander of Hamas's Eastern Rafah Battalion, along with his deputy and key members of his inner circle.
Here's the IDF's statement on al-Bawab’s record:
"Muhammad Jawad Muhammad al-Bawab, commander of Hamas' Eastern Rafah Battalion, who helped execute the October 7 Massacre and attacked IDF troops in Gaza through the course of the Israel-Hamas War."
Three additional terrorists, including al-Bawab's deputy, were killed in the same strike. After the Nahal Brigade followed up with a building search in eastern Rafah, troops confirmed one terrorist already dead from the airstrike and took out three more armed fighters on the spot.
Separately, the IDF reports that its forces have now killed over 40 Hamas terrorists who emerged from the sprawling tunnel network beneath Rafah, an area that has been under full Israeli control for months.
Israeli and U.S. officials have said that roughly 200 Hamas fighters had been bottled up in those tunnels for an extended period. Some have come up fighting and been eliminated; others, according to Israeli media reports, have surrendered.
Another day, another senior Hamas commander and dozens of his men removed from the battlefield. The tunnel-rat phase of this war drags on, but the attrition is clearly running in one direction.
