The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Thursday the elimination of two terrorists who participated in the October 7th attacks in Israel. The strikes occurred earlier this week in the Gaza Strip.
One of the eliminated individuals was identified as Mohammed Jamal Mahmoud Abu al-Shaar, a commander in the armed wing of Hamas. The IDF stated he was killed in a strike in Gaza City on Tuesday. Abu al-Shaar was reportedly involved in the abduction of six individuals from Kibbutz Beeri to Gaza. The abducted individuals were Sharon Hertzman-Avigdori, Noam Avigdori, Adi Shoham, Naveh Shoham, Yahel Shoham, and Shoshan Haran.
In a separate strike on the same day in the Jabaliya area, the IDF eliminated Musab Abd al-Jalil Sakheb Balbisi, a commander in the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. According to the IDF, Balbisi also infiltrated Israeli territory during the October 7th attack.
The military stated that both individuals had recently been preparing attacks against Israeli forces and civilians, constituting a repeated violation of the ceasefire. Their elimination was carried out via airstrikes to neutralize the immediate threat they posed. The IDF also reported taking measures to limit civilian risk prior to the strikes, including the use of precision munitions and aerial surveillance.
Forces from the Southern Command remain deployed in the area and will continue to act to eliminate any immediate threats.
