According to Nitzan Shapira (N12), the IDF eliminated Amro Abu Alrish, a Nukhba operative from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's military wing. Abu Alrish participated in the release of an Israeli hostage from Islamic Jihad captivity and took an active part in fighting in the Gaza Strip.
N12, citing journalist Nitzan Shapira, reported Monday evening that the IDF eliminated Amro Abu Alrish, a Nukhba operative from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's military wing. According to the report, Abu Alrish participated in the release of an Israeli hostage from Islamic Jihad captivity and was actively involved in combat operations in the Gaza Strip.
The Zioneer reported earlier Monday at 18:48 Jerusalem that the IDF confirmed the elimination of Abu Alrish and another operative, Abd Al-Nasser Al-Aziz Maqadmeh, a Hamas police commander and deputy platoon commander, in precision strikes over the weekend. The military said both operatives 'posed a threat to the troops and were eliminated in precise aerial strikes.'
The elimination is part of a sustained Israeli campaign to target Nukhba operatives involved in the October 7, 2023, massacre and subsequent hostage-taking operations. As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, the IDF and ISA have eliminated Nukhba commanders who led the infiltration of Kibbutz Kisufim and participated in the abduction of Yagil Yaakov, among others.
No further details have been released on the specific circumstances of the strike or on any additional casualties beyond the two operatives confirmed by the IDF.
