IDF, Shin Bet kill six terrorists from three separate organizations in strikes near Khan Yunis
Four of the terrorists belonged to Hamas, one to Jaish al-Islam (Army of Islam), and the sixth to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet, Israel's domestic security agency, carried out a series of targeted strikes in the Gaza Strip earlier this week, resulting in the deaths of seven terrorists from three distinct organizations, according to a report on Wednesday. Among those killed was Gamal Abu Said, a prominent figure in Hamas who held several high-ranking positions within the group.
Abu Said was responsible for training militants outside Gaza, serving as commander of an anti-tank battalion, and as a key liaison between Hamas and various countries, according to the IDF. Two of the strikes occurred on Monday, targeting Mahmoud Jihad Mohammad Qafa, who led a sniper cell in Hamas' military wing, and Asaad Suleiman Salman Qashta, a member of Jaish al-Islam.
On Sunday, the IDF and Shin Bet killed three more Hamas terrorists and one member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in Khan Yunis. Additionally, on Sunday, Mohammad Ali Abu Shaar, a PIJ sniper, was among four Hamas terrorists killed in IDF strikes. Furthermore, Israeli forces eliminated Nukhba terrorist Muhammad Kamel Masleh Qadih, who had infiltrated Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7 massacre, and Diaa Abd al-Mohsen Muhammad Abu al-Rous, another Nukhba terrorist in Hamas' military wing, in strikes near Nuseirat.
