The IDF and Shin Bet have eliminated a Nukhba terrorist who participated in the October 7, 2023 massacre, according to a report by ynet on Monday evening. The terrorist's identity and the location of the operation have not been disclosed, consistent with military censorship. The announcement comes hours after the military confirmed the elimination of two Hamas commanders in Gaza earlier today, including a Nukhba commander who infiltrated Israeli territory during the Oct. 7 attack.
Earlier this evening (Mon 21:02 Jerusalem), the IDF identified the two eliminated commanders as Abdullah Adnan Taha Abu al-Tayef, a Nukhba commander who crossed into Israel on Oct. 7, and Jalal Sbeih, a commander in the Daraj Tuffah battalion of Hamas's military wing. Both were struck in separate operations on Sunday in Deir al-Balah and the Shati area, respectively. The military stated that both had recently been advancing terror plots against Israeli forces and civilians. The latest elimination, reported by ynet, marks another step in the ongoing Israeli campaign to target Oct. 7 perpetrators, which The Zioneer has been documenting over recent weeks, including the elimination of Nukhba commanders such as Sakr Abu Karim on Jun 7, 2026, and other militants involved in the massacre and hostage-taking.
The Nukhba force, Hamas's elite unit, spearheaded the Oct. 7 massacre, and Israel has repeatedly stated its commitment to pursue all perpetrators regardless of time or operational constraints. The IDF and Shin Bet have carried out numerous targeted operations against Nukhba operatives over the past months, as reported by The Zioneer.
The identity of the latest target and the precise location of the operation remain undisclosed. It is not yet clear whether this elimination is directly linked to the operations announced earlier today or represents a separate strike.
