DAMASCUS – Israel has included the name Hassan Akasha on the list of Hamas figures who have been killed. Previously, the claim of Akasha’s murder was revealed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at the beginning of last week, Monday (8/1/2024).
According to a Times of Israel report, the IDF said Akasha had been killed in the Syrian town of Beit Jinn. However, they did not mention in detail the chronology of the Hamas figure’s death.
Furthermore, who exactly is Hassan Akasha, who is said to be an important figure for Hamas?
The figure of Hassan Akasha
Hassan Akasha is a central figure for the Hamas group. In his duties, he is known to operate more in Syria.
For some people, the name Hassan Akasha may still sound strange given his status as an important Hamas figure.
His name is not too famous when compared to Hamas leaders such as Ismail Haniyeh or Al-Qassam Brigade Spokesman Abu Ubaidah.
However, Akasha has his own role in the Hamas group. The IDF named him as one of the Hamas officials in Syria.
In his actions, Akasha is considered a Hamas rocket expert. He was responsible for Hamas rocket attacks towards Israeli territory.
In recent weeks, he has been named as the planner of Hamas rocket attacks on northern Israel. Seeing this role, it is not surprising that Israel made him one of his targets.
Most recently, Hassan Akasha was reported to have died at the hands of Israel. The IDF said it had killed the prominent Hamas figure in Beit Jinn, an area near the Golan Heights.
Regarding the news of Hassan Akasha’s death, the IDF did not explain in detail the chronology of his murder. On the other hand, Hamas itself has not provided any comments regarding this news.
