Hamas Terrorist Who Kidnapped Noa Argamani to Gaza Eliminated

Palestinian media reported on Saturday that Sahar Sakr, one of the terrorists who abducted Noa Argamani to Gaza on a motorcycle on October 7th, was killed in an airstrike in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. Sakr was identified as the individual riding the motorcycle with Argamani. Argamani was kidnapped from the Nova music festival alongside her partner, Avinatan Or. She was rescued eight months later in Operation Arnon, while Avinatan Or was eventually returned in a hostage deal on October 13, 2025.

In recent months, the IDF and Shin Bet have been systematically targeting terrorists involved in the October 7th atrocities, including those who participated in massacres and sexual violence. A Southern Command official told Ynet that these same terrorists are also involved in rebuilding Hamas's strength in Gaza. "Therefore, our desire to close the circle with those who committed atrocities aligns with the desire to stop processes with Hamas that cannot be accepted," the official stated.

Security officials explained that strikes are executed based on real-time intelligence and unique opportunities that arise on the ground, though some operations are meticulously planned days in advance. A dedicated command post continuously monitors targets, with strikes often initiated based on emerging intelligence. The official emphasized that the list of terrorists involved in the October 7th events is constantly updated and remains a priority for security forces, driven by both operational and moral imperatives. "This list will not leave us; it is before our eyes both morally and ethically, to close the circle on each and every one of them," he said.

The security establishment operates around the clock to pursue these targets, maintaining a high intensity of operations regardless of the overall combat tempo. The official stressed that there is no let-up in the effort to strike terrorists, even as the intensity of fighting fluctuates.
