The terrorist is reported to have held hostages including Romy Gonen, Emily Damari, Ziv and Gali Berman, Eitan Mor, Matan Angrest, and Omri Miran, according to Israeli media.
The elimination marks a significant step in Israel's campaign against senior Hamas operatives responsible for the October 7 massacre and the ongoing hostage crisis. The terrorist, whose identity has not been released, commanded the infiltration from the Gaza City brigade sector, one of the main axes of the attack. He is reported to have held at least seven hostages, including Romy Gonen, Emily Damari, Ziv and Gali Berman, Eitan Mor, Matan Angrest, and Omri Miran. The IDF and Shin Bet have not provided details on the location or timing of the operation.
