The Israeli military and the Shin Bet security agency announced the elimination of Hasham Gamal Muhammad Abu Galala, a Hamas military wing Nukba company commander, in an airstrike last Monday in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.

Abu Galala was identified as one of the leaders of the October 7 attack on Kibbutz Kissufim and actively participated in the abduction of Israeli civilians and soldiers into Gaza. The strike was described as retribution for his involvement in the October 7 atrocities.

Security officials stated that Abu Galala continued his hostile activities throughout the war, particularly in recent times, promoting terror attacks against Israeli forces and civilians. He was also actively working to rebuild Hamas's military capabilities in Gaza, in clear violation of the ceasefire.

The airstrike aimed to thwart his efforts and neutralize the immediate threat he posed. The IDF emphasized that Southern Command forces remain deployed and prepared in the area, ready to act against any developing security threats.
