The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) successfully killed the deputy head of Hamas' intelligence disposition, who, along with Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, had planned the October 7 attack on Israel, the IDF said on Thursday night.

"Using combat aircraft with precise intelligence from the IDF and the Shin Bet, today they eliminated the deputy head of Hamas' intelligence disposition, Shadi Baroud," the IDF said in a statement. "In his previous role as the head of the offensive department at the Hamas operations headquarters, Baroud had planned the attack in Israel on Oct. 7, along with Yahya Sinwar," the IDF added on Twitter. Baroud also served as a battalion commander in Khan Yunis and was involved in planning several attacks against Israeli civilians.
