The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet security agency confirmed on Saturday the airstrike elimination of Sahar Saqr, a terrorist involved in the abduction of Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or from the Nova music festival on October 7th. Saqr, who drove the motorcycle used to transport Argamani to Gaza, was targeted in an airstrike in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. The IDF and Shin Bet stated that Saqr "continued to advance terror plots" during and after the war, and had also supplied weapons to Hamas.
In a separate operation last Tuesday, the IDF and Shin Bet eliminated a Hamas commander identified as Mohammed Hamad Mohammed Gabain. According to the agencies, Gabain was involved in holding nine Israeli hostages: Ziv Berman, Eitan Mor, Lihi Albag, Agam Berger, Matan Angrest, Gali Berman, Omri Miran, Keith Segal, and Alon Ahl.
Noa Argamani, who was kidnapped from the Nova festival alongside her partner Avinatan Or, was rescued eight months later in Operation Arnon. Or was later released in a hostage deal. The families of some of the hostages held by Gabain expressed relief at his elimination, emphasizing the ongoing suffering caused by their captivity and the continued threat posed by terrorists.
Israeli security forces are systematically targeting terrorists who participated in the October 7th attacks, viewing them as key to rebuilding Hamas's strength. A Southern Command official noted that strikes are planned based on intelligence and opportunities, with a dedicated task force monitoring targets around the clock. The effort to eliminate those involved in the October 7th atrocities is described as a moral and ethical imperative, with a continuously updated list of targets.
