The IDF, working in coordination with the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), has eliminated eleven operatives from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad who took part in the brutal October 7 attacks, according to a military announcement issued Thursday. These targeted killings took place following the resumption of military activity in Gaza that began in mid-March.
The renewed offensive marked the official end of a two-month-long truce between Israel and Hamas.
Of the eleven terrorists identified, nine were neutralized in the most recent wave of strikes carried out in Gaza.
Among those killed was Hassan Na’em, who was involved in the abduction and killing of Sgt. Shaked Dahan. Ismail Shakash was also targeted; he had been responsible for murdering Israeli civilians, launching grenades at the Re’im junction checkpoint, and firing a small surface-to-air missile into Israeli territory. Jalal Qaraan played a role in murdering Inbar Haiman, attacking the Nova music festival and military installations, and killing two Israeli civilians while filming and sharing the atrocities online.
Muhammad Issa was identified as a perpetrator in the attack on Kibbutz Mefalsim and as a participant in the October 7 massacre. Muhammad Shabaki also infiltrated Israeli territory and took part in the mass killings that day. Fares Karshin, Yahya Estal, Muhammad Tzakar, and Muhammad Estal all crossed into Israel and took part in the coordinated October 7 assault.
In addition to these nine, two other terrorists were killed prior to the current campaign.
Muhammad Atsfur was involved in the assault against the IDF’s Southern Command’s 10th Brigade on October 7. Khaled Al-Din was implicated in the murder of Israeli civilians during the same attack and was found to have used the home of Erick and Ruth Peretz, both of whom were slain at the Nova music festival.
