IDF and Shin Bet forces, directed by Navy intelligence, struck and eliminated yesterday (Monday) Younes Muhammad Hussein Alyan, the commander of the northern brigade of the naval unit in the Hamas terror organization.
Alyan was responsible for operating the brigade’s naval forces, advancing its force‑building processes, training and instructing the unit's operatives, and managing the readiness of its weapons systems.
In recent weeks Alyan had been working to rebuild the brigade’s capabilities in the Gaza Strip and was planning terror operations against IDF forces operating in the area and against the State of Israel in the immediate future.
The terrorist was precisely targeted after posing a real threat to IDF forces.
