The IDF has identified a senior Hamas Nukhba squad commander who was killed while dressed in civilian clothes, according to Noam Amir (Channel 14). The commander, whose position was his official role within Hamas, was struck in an operation that targeted the cell.
The identification of the Hamas Nukhba commander, killed in civilian attire, was reported Sunday by Noam Amir (Channel 14). The IDF has not yet issued a full statement on the operation, but the military maintains its policy of targeting senior operatives regardless of their dress. The commander's official role was leading a Nukhba squad — an elite unit involved in the October 7 attack on southern Israel. Israeli security officials have repeatedly stated that Hamas operatives often shed uniforms to evade detection and blend into civilian areas. This strike continues a pattern of targeted eliminations against the Nukhba force, which remains a priority for Israel's campaign in Gaza. No further details on the precise location or timing of the strike were provided.
