Barhoum Shahin and Asham Tzartzur enforced the terrorist group's rule through repression and violence against the Strip's civilian population
(July 18, 2025 / JNS) The Israel Defense Forces killed three senior Hamas operatives in targeted strikes carried out this week in the Gaza Strip, the military said on Friday.
Among those killed were Barhoum Shahin, head of the Western Gaza District for Hamas’s General Security Apparatus, and Asham Tzartzur, who led the terrorist group’s Government Emergency Committee in eastern Gaza.
According to the IDF, both men played key roles in Hamas’s internal security and governance efforts, including supporting the terrorist group’s “military” wing and enforcing its rule through repression and violence against Gaza’s civilian population.
