The Israeli army said on Saturday that it had eliminated the head of the Palestinian Hamas' network in southern Syria, whom it referred to as Ahmad Muhammad Fahd, overnight on Friday.
Israel has vowed to dismantle Hamas’ military and political regime in the Gaza Strip.
Israel regularly targets military sites in Syria and facilities linked to Iran and Hezbollah.
Those strikes have become more frequent as Hezbollah has exchanged fire with Israeli forces for the past 11 months against the backdrop of Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.
