The Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet announced Tuesday that they eliminated Adham Ibrahim Sha'aban Nasman, head of the Operations Department of Hamas's Gaza City Brigade, in a strike over the weekend. Nasman, a former Nukhba battalion commander, directed the brigade's infiltration into Israel on October 7, 2023, and was involved in holding several hostages during the war, including Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Ziv and Gali Berman. The military said he was recently working to rebuild Hamas capabilities in violation of the ceasefire.
The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday that Army Radio had reported the elimination of the same commander, citing security sources. The military's official statement confirms the operation and provides additional details. Nasman served as the Gaza City Brigade's operations chief, and previously commanded the Nukhba battalion that led the October 7 attack. According to the IDF, he was responsible for holding a number of hostages, including Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, Ziv and Gali Berman, Eitan Mor, Matan Angrest, and Omri Miran. The statement said Nasman was recently training operatives and producing weapons in violation of the ceasefire agreement. The elimination is part of ongoing IDF operations in Gaza targeting senior Hamas figures involved in the October 7 massacre and subsequent hostage holding.
