Bank." 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. In May 2024, the head of the cell, who was also released in the Shalit deal, was killed in Rafah. Hamed was targeted in a strike in Gaza City's Sheikh Ijlin neighborhood earlier today, according to Palestinian media. The IDF has not yet issued a statement on the strike.
