According to reports, a Hamas terrorist who participated in the kidnapping of the late Amiram Cooper and his wife Nurit was eliminated. The location and timing of the operation were not immediately reported.
A Hamas terrorist involved in the kidnapping of the late Amiram Cooper and his wife Nurit from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7, 2023, has been eliminated, according to reports. The operation, whose location and timing have not been disclosed, was reported around midday Tuesday, hours after The Zioneer published a series of reports on the elimination of multiple Hamas operatives linked to the Nir Oz abductions.
Earlier Tuesday, at 09:04 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that the IDF and Shin Bet confirmed the killing of Asma Kamal Shehadeh Abu Tim, a Hamas cell commander who participated in the abduction of the three hostages — Nurit Cooper, Amiram Cooper, and Alex Dancyg — from Kibbutz Nir Oz (versions 19-23). Concurrently, ynet and i24NEWS reported the elimination of one of the terrorists involved in the kidnappings (versions 25-26). The coverage also included an unverified report of the killing of a Gaza City Brigade operations chief (version 17) and an IDF announcement of the elimination of another terrorist involved in the Nir Oz kidnappings (version 24). The reports have evolved from initial unverified claims to confirmed military statements.
The late Amiram Cooper and his wife Nurit were among the residents of Kibbutz Nir Oz abducted during the October 7 massacre. Amiram Cooper was later confirmed killed in captivity, while Nurit Cooper was released (as The Zioneer has reported). The elimination of those involved in the kidnappings is part of the ongoing Israeli campaign to target perpetrators of the October 7 attacks.
The identity of the terrorist reported eliminated in the latest update remains undisclosed, and it is not clear whether this is a separate operative from those previously reported or a further detail on the same target. The location and method of the operation have not been specified.
