IDF Says Hamas Nukhba Terrorist Involved in October 7 Attack Was Killed

The IDF Spokesperson said this morning (Sunday) that last week, two terrorists from Hamas’s military wing were killed, including one who took part in the October 7 massacre.

According to the statement, in a strike carried out in the Shati area, Abd al-Rahman Maher Abd al-Karim Ziyada, commander of a *Nukhba* terrorist cell in Hamas’s military wing, was killed. The IDF noted that the terrorist infiltrated Israeli territory on the day of the massacre and looted an IDF vehicle, which he took into the Gaza Strip.

In another strike that same day in the Khan Younis area, Kamal Muhammad Hamdan Najar, head of the tunnel unit in the Khan Younis area in the military wing of the Hamas organization, was killed.

"Throughout the war, and especially in recent weeks, the terrorists tried to advance terror attacks against IDF forces operating in the Gaza Strip," the IDF Spokesperson said. "The terrorists posed an immediate threat to the forces and were killed in precise strikes."
