IDF kills two October 7 terrorists in Gaza strikes, including Be'eri hostage abductor
The Hamas terrorists infiltrated on October 7 and kidnapped Sharon Hertzman-Avigdori, Noam Avigdori, Adi Shoham, Nave Shoham, Yahel Shoham, and Shoshan Haran to the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) conducted strikes in Gaza on Tuesday, resulting in the deaths of two terrorists. One of the individuals targeted, Muhammad Jamal Mahmoud Abu Al-Shaar, was responsible for the abduction of seven hostages during the October 7th incident from Kibbutz Be'er Sheva.
The IDF announced on Thursday that Abu Al-Shaar, who served as a cell commander in Hamas' military wing, the Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades, was killed in a strike on Gaza City. Additionally, the military disclosed the death of another terrorist, Musab Abd al-Jalil Saqib Balbisi, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) militant, in a strike on Jabalya.
Abu Al-Shaar's role in the October 7th attack involved infiltrating the kibbutz and kidnapping Sharon Hertzman-Avigdori, Noam Avigdori, Adi Shoham, Nave Shoham, Yahel Shoham, and Shoshan Haran into Gaza. All of the former hostages were released in November 2023.
Balbisi, also a PIJ commander, infiltrated southern Israel during the October 7 massacre. The IDF stated that both terrorists were involved in planning terror attacks against Israeli citizens.
