In a precision bombing guided by meticulous intelligence, the IDF successfully targeted and killed Shadi Barud, the deputy head of Hamas’s intelligence department. This animal orchestrated the Simchas Torah massacre. The operation, conducted in cooperation with military intelligence and the Shin Bet, marks a significant blow to the leadership of the Palestinian terror organization. Shadi Barud, who formerly served as the head of the attack department at the Hamas operations headquarters, was a key figure in orchestrating the deadly raid on southern Israel that occurred on Simchas Torah / October 7th. This attack was previously planned in conjunction with Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Barud was also heavily involved in planning various Hamas terrorist attacks against Israeli citizens during his tenure as a battalion commander in the Khan Yunis. Following his time as a battalion commander, Barud assumed several high-ranking positions within Hamas’s military intelligence apparatus. Notably, he was responsible for overseeing the organization’s information security and played a vital role in managing intelligence relations to further Hamas’s terrorist objectives.
