Report: IDF Eliminates Hamas Terrorist Involved in Kidnapping, Murder of Shiri Bibas And Her Two Sons
Israel’s i24NEWS TV: Mohammad Awad “oversaw the kidnapping of Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, Ariel and baby Kfir, and was likely involved in their murder.”

With Hamas refusing to negotiate the release of remaining hostages, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continued to intensify its ground operation in southern and northern Gaza. The Israeli military has renewed the targeting of Hamas’s top leadership in precision strikes across Gaza.
Israeli military, on Friday, eliminated Mohammad Hassan Mohammad Awad, who was reportedly involved in the kidnapping and subsequent murder of Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, Ariel and Kfir.
“IDF eliminated Mohammad Hassan Mohammad Awad, a member of the Mujahideen Brigades, who on October 7 oversaw the kidnapping of Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, Ariel and baby Kfir, and was likely involved in their murder,” the Israeli TV channel i24NEWS reported.

Shiri, along with her two boys, Ariel, 4, and baby Kfir, nine months, were brutally murdered by terrorists in cold blood and had their bodies mutilated, forensic examination showed. Awad is likely responsible for these heinous crimes, the Israeli military indicated.
The Times of Israel reported, citing military sources:
Israel says it has killed the terrorist who oversaw the abduction of Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, and was likely involved in their murders.
Muhammad Hassan Muhammad Awad, a senior member of the Mujahideen Brigades, a relatively small terror group in the Gaza Strip, was killed in an airstrike today, the IDF and Shin Bet announce.
In a joint statement, they say that Awad was among the terrorists who invaded Kibbutz Nir Oz during the Hamas-led October 7 onslaught, and that he led the abduction of Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas.
The IDF says Awad was also “likely involved in their murders” during the early weeks of the war. Their bodies were returned to Israel in February.

IDF eliminates Hamas terrorist who produced hostage videos
The Israeli military also confirmed the elimination of Mohammed Saleh al-Bardawil, a Hamas terrorist who specialized in psychological terrorism and produced videos of hostages in Gaza captivity.
Al-Bardawil was “producing the cynical propaganda videos distributed by the terrorist organization Hamas, in which the abducted Israelis were filmed during their captivity in Gaza,” Israeli news website Arutz Sheva reported.
The IDF described al-Bardawil as Hamas’s “propaganda and psychological terror operative” who was behind the hostage videos that were released by the terrorist group in an effort to humiliate the captives and demoralize the Israeli public back home and the troops fighting on the ground.
“Bardawil played a central role in Hamas’ propaganda apparatus, systematically spreading false information and leveraging media as a tool for psychological terror and to promote the murderous narrative of the Hamas terrorist organization,” the Israeli news outlet added.

The i24NEWS TV channel reported the Hamas propagandist’s killing:
Earlier this week Israeli forces eliminated Mohammed Saleh Mohammed Al-Bardawil, a Hamas propaganda and psychological terror operative, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Friday. Bardawil was active in producing the cynical propaganda videos of Israeli hostages in Gaza.
Bardawil, the IDF said in a statement, “played a central role in Hamas’ propaganda apparatus, systematically spreading false information and leveraging media as a tool for psychological terror and to promote the murderous narrative of the Hamas terrorist organization.”
“While he was referred to as a well-known journalist in Gaza, he was an integral part of Hamas’s incitement and terror infrastructure,” the statement further read.
Bardawil was responsible for producing the “cynical propaganda videos distributed by the terrorist organization Hamas, in which the abducted Israelis were filmed during their captivity in Gaza.”
Some media outlets, including Western ones, described the slain Hamas terrorists, who specialized in making depraved hostage videos, as ‘journalists,’ reinforcing the Hamas narrative that Israel was deliberately targeting members of the press in Gaza. As we have been reporting, most of these ‘journalists’ turn out to be Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorists. They have been systematically using their journalistic cover to carry out terrorist activities.
IDF strike eliminates Hamas terror commander in southern Lebanon
Israeli military also eliminated a senior Hamas commander, Hassan Farhat, in an airstrike on the southern Lebanese town of Sidon. The slain terrorist, who headed Hamas’s Lebanon-based western command, was directly responsible for deadly rocket attacks on IDF troops on Israel’s northern border.
The Jerusalem Post reported:
The IDF killed Hamas commander Hassan Farhat during a strike in Lebanon’s Sidon, the military announced on Friday morning.
Farhat was the commander of the western sector of Hamas in Lebanon, the IDF said.
During the war, Farhat was responsible for numerous terrorist plots, including launching rockets into Safed, the military added.
Additionally, Farhat was responsible for launching the rocket fire that killed Staff-Sergeant Omer Sarah Benjo in February and wounded several others.
Farhat’s elimination comes days after an IDF drone strike killed the liaison man between Hezbollah and Hamas terrorist groups. Hassan Ali Mahmoud Bdeir, an operative of both Hezbollah and Iran’s Islamic Guards-Quds Forces, was directing joint terrorist operations with Hamas in Gaza from the safety of his Beirut base.
IDF renews offensive in northern Gaza, expands security buffer zone
The IDF, on Friday morning, launched a ground operation in the Shejaiya area of northern Gaza. The objective of the renewed offensive is to widen the security buffer zone in order to limit Hamas’s movement across the enclave, Israeli media reports suggest. In recent days, the military has been expanding its operations in southern Gaza as well, increasing pressure on Hamas and its allied terrorist groups.
“Over the past few hours, IDF troops have begun conducting ground activity in the area of Shejaiya in northern Gaza, in order to expand the security zone,” the Israeli military said in a press release Friday.
The IDF was taking out Hamas commanders and fighters, thinning the ranks of the terrorist groups. “As part of the activity, the troops eliminated numerous terrorists and dismantled Hamas terrorist infrastructure, including a command and control center that served Hamas terrorists to plan and execute terror attacks,” the IDF statement added.
Hamas and Gaza-based Palestinian sources confirmed further Israeli advance in northern Gaza.
“The IDF launched new ground operations early Friday in the outskirts of Gaza City’s Shijaiyah neighborhood, amid growing pressure on Hamas to advance stalled negotiations over the release of 59 Israeli hostages still held in Gaza,” the Israeli news website YNET reported. “According to Palestinian reports, Israeli artillery shelled the Shijaiyah and Zeitoun neighborhoods overnight. Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV also reported the entry of IDF vehicles east of Shijaiyah, near Kibbutz Nahal Oz on the Israeli side of the border.”

Now find Awad’s family and
eliminate them, too.
Well done! Kill more please!
Here’s hoping the down ticker ends up with their 72 syphilic grandmas too in short order.
Those babies ….and their mother
They symbolized the innocence of all the victims
Too bad he couldn’t be captured alive
He deserved much more pain the the ended up with
The left would turn him into a living martyr.
I had the same thought when I saw this article.
This way there’s no incentive to take hostages for his release.
Com’n! Pick up the pace. 1 execution for every murdered hostage.
At least 10 the the 3rd power.
Columbia U has probably cancelled classes to hold a campus-wide celebration of the heroic life of Mohammad Hassan Mohammad Awad. After all, it takes great bravery to kidnap a woman and her two young children. Hopefully, on the other side, he will receive his just reward.
Picking targets: The West Bank’s total population is 3.25 million, about 1 million people more than in Gaza. The population density is 1,438 people per square mile in the West Bank and 15,603 per square mile in Gaza. Sources are the Palestine Central Bureau of Statistics and the Harvard Center for Middle Eastern Studies.
Looks like the IDF is getting some solid intel, hopefully from Palis fed up with Hamas.
I’m impressed at how methodically and precisely Israel is isolating and terminating specific terrorist after terrorist… just like the old Nazis in the old days.
Meanwhile, there’s a reason the FBI doesn’t make it easy for you to find out the dates that each of the people on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List(s) were added there,
If you haven’t checked out those lists in a while, you ought to. They put a token white male on each one, otherwise it’s all Arabs and Hispanics, most not even citizens. Even the black guys on there are extraterritorial.
“…the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy.”

Let me guess. The white guy is Trump? Gotta go check it out.
Mean to upvote this by my fingers are tired. Oops.
Moonhammed the Concern Troll is hardest hit.
Muhammad Hassan Muhammad Awad? We’ve got a double-Muhammad here. He’s worth four times the points.
Good job IDF. Keep eliminating these stains upon the human race.
Such evil deserves no mercy.
