The Israel Defense Forces and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) announced Tuesday morning that they eliminated the head of the Operations Department of the Hamas Gaza City Brigade. According to the military, the operative directed the infiltration of Gaza City Brigade terrorists into Israel on October 7, 2023, and was responsible for holding numerous hostages captive.
The IDF and Shin Bet announced Tuesday morning at 09:04 Jerusalem that they eliminated Adham Ibrahim Shaban Nasman, head of operations of the Hamas Gaza City Brigade, who directed the October 7, 2023, infiltration and held multiple hostages. The military subsequently provided additional details, stating that Nasman was struck at the Suwiriki family home in the Nazar neighborhood of Gaza City without prior evacuation warning, and that he was responsible for holding at least seven named hostages: Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, Ziv and Gali Berman, Eitan Mor, Matan Angrest, and Omri Miran.
As The Zioneer reported in a series of statements beginning at 09:04 Jerusalem, the initial announcement identified the target as the operations chief of the Gaza City Brigade. The name Adham Ibrahim Shaban Nasman was released in the same statement, along with the allegation that he directed the infiltration from the Gaza Division. The military further detailed that Nasman also served as the brigade's intelligence officer and commander of the Shati Battalion, and that he had recently been working to rebuild Hamas's military capabilities in violation of the ceasefire, including training operatives and advancing weapons production.
The elimination comes amid ongoing Israeli operations against Hamas leadership. The IDF and Shin Bet have stated that they are committed to targeting all participants in the October 7 massacre, with the statement concluding 'one by one — we will get to all of them.'
The specific timing of the strike within the weekend has not been disclosed. The military has not provided details on other casualties in the strike. The full list of hostages held by Nasman remains unconfirmed beyond the seven named.
