The IDF said it eliminated Asma Kamal Shehadeh Abu Tim, a Hamas cell commander who took part in the October 7 massacre and the abduction of three Israeli hostages from Kibbutz Nir Oz. The strike was carried out on Sunday in the Mu'asi area of Khan Younis, southern Gaza. The military confirmed the operation on Tuesday, noting that Abu Tim was killed a week and a half after his wedding. As The Zioneer reported earlier (12:06), the operation was part of ongoing targeted strikes against Hamas commanders who participated in the October 7 attacks. The Abu Ali Express channel later shared a photo of the wedding, which was held about a week and a half before the strike. The elimination follows a pattern of Israeli operations against mid-level Hamas commanders in the Gaza Strip, including the killing of a Nukhba cell commander on Sunday and a military intelligence commander on Monday, as The Zioneer reported on July 7.
