A group describing itself as the Patriots ('HaPatriotim') issued a response Tuesday evening to the elimination of a Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander earlier in the day. The commander, who led an infiltration squad and held hostages during the October 7 attack, was killed by the IDF, according to the post published alongside a video clip. The statement — whose exact group affiliation or membership is not specified in the post — reads in part 'to the last one,' indicating satisfaction that the operation was carried out. The identity of the commander and further details of the strike have not yet been confirmed by official Israeli sources as of this bulletin.
The reaction follows the IDF and Shin Bet announcements earlier Tuesday that two Islamic Jihad operatives involved in the October 7 massacre had been eliminated — one in southern Gaza and one in central Gaza. The Zioneer reported those developments at 15:23 (Jerusalem time). The current post does not specify whether it refers to one of those same two commanders or to a separate elimination.
