Abu Ali Express reports that Hamas is deliberately deceiving the IDF about the results of elimination operations, falsely declaring operatives dead to remove them from target lists. The report cites two cases: police officer Yamaan Abed, whose elimination was announced by the IDF on July 14, died from his injuries only 11 days later; and terrorist Ma'am Eid, announced dead before he actually died. The analyst says this is a broader phenomenon and that Hamas has recently arrested suspected Israeli collaborators to gain intelligence on elimination verification.
Abu Ali Express, a security-affiliated analyst channel, published a detailed report Monday evening alleging that Hamas is systematically deceiving the IDF regarding the results of elimination operations. According to the report, Hamas operatives are being declared dead on social media and by the IDF spokesperson while they are still alive, only to die later from their injuries. The goal, the analyst says, is to have the operatives removed from the IDF's target list and reduce intelligence surveillance on them.
The report cites two specific cases. The first is Yamaan Abed, a Hamas police officer whose elimination was announced by the IDF on July 14 as part of a strike on 7-8 police officers in northern Gaza. According to the analyst, Abed actually died from his injuries only 11 days later, on July 25. The second case is Ma'am Eid, a terrorist who was attacked on Saturday, declared dead on social media in Gaza, and whose death was announced by the IDF yesterday. The analyst claims Eid only died this morning, after the announcement.
The broader context, according to the analyst, is that Hamas has recently arrested several suspected Israeli collaborators who confirmed to its operatives the results of eliminations from hospital morgues. The analyst states that Hamas has decided to focus on this deception to protect the lives of its operatives and deceive Israeli intelligence.
The Zioneer reported earlier Monday (17:16 Jerusalem) on the initial claim of Hamas deception. This new report provides specific names and a more detailed account of the alleged pattern. The IDF has not yet commented on these specific allegations. The analyst advises more careful verification of terrorist deaths, given the known deception efforts.
