The IDF confirmed Tuesday that it killed Asma Kamal Shehadeh Abu Tim, a Hamas cell commander, in a Sunday airstrike in southern Gaza. The military said Abu Tim infiltrated Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7, 2023, and participated in the abduction of Nurit Cooper, Amiram Cooper, and Alexander Danzig. It added that he was actively advancing terror plots against Israeli forces and civilians throughout the war and in recent weeks.
