Tonight, ynet reported that one of the terrorists who abducted Nurit Cooper, Amiram Cooper, and Alex Dancyg from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7 has been eliminated. The report did not name the operative or provide operational details. The Zioneer had already reported earlier this morning (Tue 09:04 Jerusalem) that the IDF and Shin Bet killed the Hamas cell commander responsible for the kidnappings, identified as Asma Kamal Shehadeh Abu Tim.
The Zioneer's coverage of the elimination unfolded in a series of updates starting at 09:04 Jerusalem. Initial reports from i24NEWS stated the IDF had killed a Hamas commander who participated in the abduction of the three. Within the same minute, the IDF and Shin Bet confirmed the commander's identity and named him as Asma Kamal Shahada Abu Tim. The military stated that Abu Tim had continued to advance attacks against Israeli forces and civilians during the war, and was eliminated in a precision strike in the southern Gaza Strip.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the elimination of other Hamas operatives tied to hostage holding, including a member of the Shadow Unit killed in a strike in central Gaza (Sun Jun 21, 10:07 Jerusalem). The elimination of Abu Tim is part of the ongoing Israeli campaign to target all those responsible for the October 7 attacks.
The ynet report, while confirming the elimination, does not add new information beyond what the Zioneer had already published. No further details on the identity of the operative (beyond the commander already named) or the precise circumstances of the operation have been released.
