TL;DR

An Israeli media report says the commander of the Nukhba squad that celebrated next to a burning IDF tank on October 7, and also stole an Israeli military vehicle into Gaza, has been eliminated. The report did not specify when or by whom the targeted killing was carried out, according to Abu Ali Express.

01 · THE DISPATCH

An Israeli media report, cited by the Abu Ali Express the source, says a Nukhba squad commander who was filmed celebrating next to a burning IDF tank on October 7, 2023, and subsequently looted an Israeli military vehicle and took it into Gaza, has been eliminated. The report, attributed to journalist Nitzan Shpiro and the 'Chat Katavim' Telegram group, did not specify the time, location, or executor of the kill. The Nukhba force is Hamas's elite commando unit. The Zioneer reported earlier this morning (07:02) on IDF operations in southern Lebanon today, but this elimination appears unrelated to those events. The source is a single Israeli media outlet; further details, including confirmation from official Israeli military sources and the identity of the eliminated operative by name, have not yet been published.
