The IDF and Shin Bet announced Sunday that they had eliminated Adham Ibrahim Sha’aban Nasman, y”sh, Head of the Operations Department of Hamas’ Gaza City Brigade, in a strike over the weekend in the Gaza City area.
Nasman’s terror record spanned years of planning and directing attacks against Israel. In recent years he served as a Nukhba battalion commander, and it was in that capacity that he commanded and directed the infiltration of Gaza City Brigade terrorists into Israeli territory during the October 7th massacre — one of the masterminds behind the murderous assault that shook Klal Yisroel to its core.
Throughout the war, Nasman was directly involved in holding numerous hostages captive, among them Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, Ziv and Gali Berman, Eitan Mor, Matan Angrest, and Omri Miran — names that became etched into the hearts of Jews around the world as their families davened and fought for their return.
The terrorist held a string of senior roles within Hamas’ terror apparatus over the years, including Intelligence Officer of the Gaza City Brigade and Commander of the Al-Shati Battalion, positions from which he planned and executed numerous attacks against IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians.
The IDF and Shin Bet noted that in recent months, Nasman had been working to train new terror operatives for the Gaza City Brigade and to advance the production and distribution of weapons to its battalions — part of an ongoing effort by Hamas to rebuild its military strength in direct violation of the ceasefire agreement currently in place.
IDF troops under the Southern Command remain deployed in the region in accordance with the agreement and will continue operating to remove any emerging threats.
