This was confirmed when al-Hawajri appeared in the recent operation to hand over Israeli captive Keith Siegel at Gaza\u2019s port last Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, on January 22, Hussein Fayadh (Abu Hamza), commander of the Beit Hanoun Battalion, appeared in a video\u2014eight months after the Israeli army had declared his assassination in northern Gaza.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Doubts Over Israeli Assassination Claims<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>According to Yedioth Ahronoth, Israeli military sources acknowledged that the security establishment announced the deaths of dozens of Hamas operatives without full verification.<\/p>\n<p>The report added, &#8220;Sometimes even Hamas does not immediately know the results of an airstrike targeting its leaders, and assessing the outcomes of such operations is not always 100% accurate.
