member of the "Military Council of the al-Qassam Brigades in the West Bank" was killed in a strike in Gaza City's Sheikh Ijlin neighborhood. The strike killing Hamed was carried out by the Israel Police's elite Gideonim unit (Unit 33, in a joint operation with the Shin Bet and IDF, the three bodies say. Hamed was a member of the "Silwad cell," which operated during the Second Intifada and carried out a series of deadly shooting attacks in the West Bank. Originally from the Ramallah area, Hamed was deported to Gaza in 2011 as part of the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange deal. The Shin Bet says Hamed was a "senior figure" in Hamas's so-called “West Bank Headquarters,” a unit involved in recruiting terrorists and advancing attacks against Israel from or within the West Bank, and that he also took part in fighting against IDF troops during the war in Gaza.
Israelische Sicherheitsbehörden bestätigen die Tötung eines hochrangigen Mitglieds der Terrororganisation Hamas, das für zahlreiche tödliche Terroranschläge verantwortlich war, bei einem Angriff gestern in Gaza-Stadt. Gestern erklärte die Hamas, Farah Hamed, ein „Kommandeur und Kämpfer“ im militärischen Flügel der Terrororganisation und Mitglied des „Militärrats der al-Qassam-Brigaden im Westjordanland“, sei bei einem Angriff im Viertel Sheikh Ijlin in Gaza-Stadt getötet worden. Der Angriff, bei dem Hamed getötet wurde, wurde von der Eliteeinheit Gideonim der israelischen Polizei (Einheit 33) in einer gemeinsamen Operation mit dem Schin Bet und den IDF durchgeführt, erklären die drei Behörden. Hamed war Mitglied der „Zelle von Silwad“, die während der Zweiten Intifada operierte und eine Reihe tödlicher Schusswaffenanschläge im Westjordanland verübte. Hamed stammte ursprünglich aus der Region Ramallah und wurde 2011 im Rahmen des Gefangenenaustauschabkommens zu Gilad Schalit nach Gaza abgeschoben. Der Schin Bet erklärt, Hamed sei eine „hochrangige Figur“ im sogenannten „Hauptquartier für das Westjordanland“ der Hamas gewesen, einer Einheit, die an der Rekrutierung von Terroristen und der Vorbereitung von Angriffen gegen Israel aus dem Westjordanland oder innerhalb des Westjordanlands beteiligt ist, und er habe zudem an den Kämpfen gegen IDF-Truppen während des Krieges im Gazastreifen teilgenommen.
