The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency announced the elimination of Sham Gamal Muhammad Abu Galala, a commander in Hamas's military wing Nukhba. Abu Galala was a leader of the raid on the Kissufim military post and participated in the abduction of Israelis during the October 7th massacre.

The strike occurred last week in the Khan Yunis area of southern Gaza. Abu Galala was reportedly involved in advancing terror plans against IDF forces and Israeli civilians throughout the war, and worked to restore Hamas's capabilities while systematically violating the ceasefire. He was eliminated in an airstrike to neutralize the threat he posed.

Security forces in the Southern Command are deployed in the area according to agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threats.
