The IDF and Shin Bet confirmed Monday evening the elimination of two Hamas commanders in separate strikes in Gaza on Sunday, identifying them as Abdullah Adnan Taha Abu al-Tayef, a Nukhba commander who infiltrated Israel during the October 7 massacre, and Jalal Sbeih, a commander in the Daraj Tuffah battalion. The military said both had recently been advancing terror plots against Israeli forces and civilians.
The announcement came hours after The Zioneer reported, at 18:06 Monday, the elimination of Mahmoud Fatair, a Nukhba commander with the Islamic Jihad who was involved in holding Israeli hostages. On Friday, the IDF announced the killing of Yahya Saeed Mohammed Hamdan, a Nukhba cell commander who led the infiltration of the Re'im military base on October 7, as part of the targeted campaign against the perpetrators of the massacre.
The Zioneer has documented the sustained campaign against Oct. 7 commanders, including the elimination of Fadi Daghmash, who led Nukhba training before the attack, and Sakr Abu Karim, who led the infiltration into the Kisufim area. The military operations continue despite the ceasefire agreement in place.
The IDF stated that the southern command remains deployed in the area in accordance with the ceasefire and will continue to remove any threat. No additional details were provided on the circumstances of the strikes.
