The IDF announced Monday that six Hamas terrorists were eliminated in a series of airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, including two Nukhba terrorists who participated in the October 7 massacre.

According to the IDF, four of the terrorists were killed in strikes carried out on Shabbos, October 31, while two others were eliminated in separate operations on Thursday, October 22.

The terrorists included members of Hamas’s elite Nukhba force, as well as commanders involved in recruitment, sniper operations, and rocket attacks.

Among those eliminated was Muhammad Kamel Musleh Qadeeh, a Hamas Nukhba terrorist who participated in the October 7 massacre at Kibbutz Nir Oz.

Qadeeh was killed in an airstrike in the Khan Younis area on Shabbos. According to the IDF, he was responsible for maintaining the operational readiness of Hamas’s Nukhba terrorists.

In another strike carried out that day in the Nuseirat area of central Gaza, the IDF eliminated Diaa Abd al-Mohsen Muhammad Abu al-Rous, another member of Hamas’s Nukhba force.

Two additional Hamas operatives were eliminated in separate strikes in northern Gaza on Shabbos.

One was Nabil Hamad, who served as a department head in Hamas’s recruitment apparatus and was involved in strengthening and rebuilding the terrorist organization’s military capabilities.

The other was Muhannad Nader Mahmoud Dahdouh, a Hamas sniper commander who, according to the IDF, actively participated in combat and carried out terrorist attacks against Israeli forces.

The military also released the identities of two terrorists eliminated in separate strikes in northern Gaza on October 22.

One was Wael Nayef Fahmi Musallam, a Nukhba terrorist who infiltrated Israeli territory during the October 7 massacre.

The second was Arafat Kamel Muhammad Ar’ir, a squad commander in Hamas’s rocket unit.

According to the IDF, all six terrorists had been involved in advancing terrorist activity against Israeli soldiers and civilians during the war.

The military said the operatives had continued working to restore Hamas’s military capabilities, including during the recent ceasefire period, in what it described as systematic violations of the agreement.
