Israeli Defense Forces, with the assistance of the General Security Service (Shin Bet), have successfully eliminated Hasan Atrash through a precise airstrike carried out by an Israeli fighter jet. Atrash was responsible for the trade, production, and delivery of weapons to Hamas' military wing.

Atrash also smuggled weapons into the Gaza Strip. Recently, he had also been engaged in weapon smuggling for terrorists operating in Judea and Samaria.
