The Israeli military (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency announced last week the elimination of Hamas Nukhabah commander Hisham Gamal Muhammad Abu Galala. Abu Galala was killed in a targeted airstrike in the Khan Younis area of southern Gaza. According to the IDF and Shin Bet, he was a leader of the raid on the Kissufim base and participated in the abduction of Israelis during the October 7th massacre.

During the war and recently, Abu Galala was reportedly active in advancing terror plots against Israeli forces and civilians. Simultaneously, he was involved in rebuilding Hamas's capabilities, systematically violating ceasefire agreements, the agencies stated.

The IDF clarified that the strike was carried out to neutralize the threat Abu Galala posed. Southern Command forces will continue to operate against any immediate threats, a spokesperson for the IDF added.
