Earlier today (Friday), during a joint IDF and ISA operation in the Jenin area, the IDF eliminated Qais Bitawi, a Hamas operative in the Jenin terrorist network, which was dismantled during Operation Iron Wall.
Bitawi was involved in advancing significant terrorist activity, including directing, funding, and executing terror attacks against Israeli civilians and the security forces. Additionally, he maintained ties with Hamas in the Gaza Strip and with Hamas operatives abroad.
The terrorist was eliminated in an Israeli Air Force airstrike alongside two additional accomplices and weapons were found in their vehicle.
The terrorist is a family member of the terrorist Noor Bitawi, commander of the Jenin terrorist network, who was eliminated by Israeli security forces in May 2025.
The security forces will continue to operate to thwart terrorism and maintain security in the Judea and
Samaria area.
