Israeli forces eliminated two Hamas terrorists who took part in the October 7, 2023 massacre, including a Nukhba Force commander, The Zioneer reports. No further details on identities or location have been released.
Journalist Amit Segal reported on Monday afternoon that Israeli security forces eliminated two Hamas terrorists who took part in the October 7, 2023 massacre, including a Nukhba Force commander. No additional details regarding the identities, location, or whether the operation was a single strike or separate actions have been released, and the IDF and Shin Bet have not yet issued an official statement.
This development follows the elimination earlier on Friday of Ibrahim Mustafa Suleiman Abu Oweimer, a Hamas Nukhba platoon commander who infiltrated Israeli territory during the October 7 massacre. The IDF and Shin Bet confirmed that strike on Monday morning at 11:02 Jerusalem, stating it was carried out in the Nuseirat area of central Gaza using precise munitions, with steps taken to mitigate civilian harm. Abu Oweimer was also described as having advanced attacks against Israeli forces and civilians and worked to restore Hamas capabilities in violation of the ceasefire.
As The Zioneer has reported in recent months, Israeli forces continue to systematically target Nukhba commanders and other Hamas operatives who participated in the October 7 attack, both during active combat and under the current ceasefire framework. Previous operations have eliminated commanders holding hostages and leading infiltration axes, including operations documented by The Zioneer in recent weeks.
The identities and precise circumstances of Monday's elimination remain unverified through official channels. It is unclear whether the two terrorists were hit in a single incident or separate strikes, and official IDF confirmation is pending.
