Israeli forces arrested a Hamas terrorist who participated in the October 7 massacre while he was driving an aid truck near the Kerem Shalom crossing, according to a report by Amit Segal (N12) and Israeli security sources. The suspect, a member of Hamas's elite Nukhba force, was taken into custody based on specific intelligence and transferred to the Shin Bet for questioning.
The arrest was carried out by IDF Paratroopers who set an ambush based on prior intelligence. The suspect, a Nukhba terrorist who participated in the October 7, 2023 massacre and invasion of southern Israeli communities, was working as a truck driver for a private merchant in Gaza. He had been granted a permit to collect private-sector goods from the Gazan side of the Kerem Shalom crossing. Upon his arrival on Wednesday, Israeli troops apprehended him and transferred him to the Shin Bet for further investigation. Security sources said the suspect had collected aid intended for the private sector, transferred by a private merchant. The incident underscores the ongoing Israeli effort to detain individuals involved in the October 7 attack, including those operating within humanitarian aid infrastructure.
