The IDF announced Wednesday it eliminated a Hamas Nukhba terrorist who participated in the abduction of Capt. Omer Neutra, Sgt. First Class Oz Daniel, and Sgt. Nimrod Cohen on October 7, 2023, i24NEWS reports. The terrorist's name was not disclosed in the report.
Tonight, i24NEWS reported that the IDF eliminated a Hamas Nukhba terrorist who participated in the abduction of three soldiers on October 7, 2023 — Capt. Omer Neutra, Sgt. First Class Oz Daniel, and Sgt. Nimrod Cohen. The terrorist's name has not been disclosed. This follows The Zioneer's earlier reporting today at 17:34 Jerusalem of the elimination of Nukhba cell commander Jihad Samih Mahmoud Ismail, who was involved in the same abductions. That elimination occurred in a strike last week in Khan Yunis, during which tank driver Sgt. Shaked Dahan was killed.
The thread on this story began today at 17:22 Jerusalem, when the IDF confirmed the elimination of Jihad Ismail. The Zioneer initially reported the confirmation, and then updated with the additional detail that Sgt. Shaked Dahan was killed in the same engagement. At 17:34, The Zioneer published a fuller account. The initial report was sourced to the IDF's official announcement; the new i24NEWS report cites IDF statements but does not identify the terrorist. The corroboration base remains the IDF as the sole official source, with i24NEWS now independently reporting the additional elimination.
Since June, The Zioneer has reported at least eight eliminations of Nukhba operatives involved in the October 7 atrocities, including commanders who led infiltrations at Kisufim and other communities, and terrorists who held hostages such as Omer Shem Tov. The IDF continues systematic targeting of Nukhba force members.
What remains open: The identity of the latest eliminated terrorist has not been disclosed by the IDF or i24NEWS. It is unclear whether this elimination is linked to the same operation that killed Jihad Ismail or a separate engagement. No details have been provided on the location or timing of the strike.
