IDF Eliminates Hamas Commander Involved in Holding Seven Israeli Hostages
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Friday the elimination of Mahmoud Abd al-Fattah Awad, a commander in Hamas's military wing. The strike occurred last weekend in the Gaza City area.
According to the IDF, Awad played a role in holding seven Israeli hostages: Daniela Gilboa, Karina Ariev, Doron Steinbacher, Naama Levy, Ziv Berman, Omri Miran, and Eitan Mor. These hostages were reportedly held in an underground tunnel in the Gaza City region.
The IDF's announcement follows up on previous reporting regarding the operation. The military stated that Awad was a commander within the terrorist organization's armed wing.
