The IDF and ISA killed the terrorist who held hostage approximately 1,000 Gazan residents at the Rantisi Hospital in the Gaza Strip, the IDF and ISA said in a joint announcement.

Based on precise IDF and ISA intelligence, and with the direction of IDF ground troops, IDF aircraft struck Ahmed Siam, a company commander of the Naser Radwan Company of the Hamas terrorist organization.

Two days ago, the IDF spokesperson exposed that Siam held hostage approximately 1,000 Gazan residents at the Rantisi Hospital and prevented them from evacuating southwards for their safety.

Ahmed Siam was killed while hiding in the "al Buraq" school, where additional terrorists under this command were also hiding and were killed.

"Ahmed Siam demonstrates once again that Hamas uses the civilians of the Gaza Strip as human shields for terror purposes," the IDF stressed.
