According to i24NEWS, the Israel Defense Forces eliminated a terrorist who was holding multiple hostages in captivity, including Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Ziv and Gali Berman. No further details on the operation or the terrorist's identity have been released.
The Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet confirmed Tuesday morning that they eliminated Adham Ibrahim Sha'aban Nasman, head of the Operations Department of Hamas's Gaza City Brigade, in a strike over the weekend. Nasman, who directed the brigade's infiltration into Israel on October 7, 2023, was holding at least seven hostages, including Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, Ziv and Gali Berman, Eitan Mor, Matan Angrest, and Omri Miran. The military said he was recently working to rebuild Hamas capabilities in violation of the ceasefire. The confirmation follows an initial report by i24NEWS that first named the hostages.
The i24NEWS report, published Tuesday morning, cited the IDF as having eliminated a terrorist holding several hostages, naming Gonen, Damari, and the Berman brothers. Shortly after, the official announcement from the IDF and Shin Bet provided the terrorist's identity and additional hostages. The two reports were published within the same hour, with the official confirmation adding operational details and the broader context of Nasman's role.
The Zioneer has previously reported on ongoing IDF operations in Gaza, including the elimination of additional terrorists earlier this month, as the military continues its offensive against Hamas infrastructure.
The exact location of the operation and the time of the strike have not been disclosed. The status of the hostages named remains unknown, and no further details on the conditions of their captivity have been released.
