The Israel Defense Forces confirmed Sunday that a strike last Wednesday in central Gaza killed Abd al-Rahman Maher Abd al-Karim Ziyada, a Nukhba cell commander in Hamas's military wing. Ziyada infiltrated Israel on October 7, 2023, and looted an IDF military vehicle into the Gaza Strip. The same operation also killed Kamal Muhammad Hamdan Najjar, head of Hamas's tunnel unit in the Khan Younis area. The military said the strike was part of ongoing operations targeting commanders involved in the October 7 massacre. As The Zioneer reported at 10:02 Sunday, Ziyada was initially reported killed in the Shati area; the military now specifies the strike took place in central Gaza. The elimination is one of several recent operations against Hamas Nukhba commanders who participated in the 2023 attack.
