The IDF struck southern Gaza earlier this week, killing Akram Muhammad Mahmoud Abu Madi, a Hamas military wing operative. According to the military, Abu Madi took part in the October 7 massacre after crossing into Israeli territory.
The army said that in recent periods he had tried to help rebuild the organization and advance terror plots against IDF forces and Israeli civilians. No further details were given about the specific strike or the timing beyond that it happened earlier this week on Sunday.
The IDF identified Abu Madi as a member of Hamas’s armed wing and said his activities made him a target in the southern Gaza operation.
