The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency announced the elimination of a Hamas operative, Musa Abd Muhammad Hamouda, who was involved in planning a bomb attack that killed four tank crew members from the 52nd Battalion on September 8, 2025. The strike occurred earlier this week in the Gaza City area.
The eliminated operative was identified as a member of Hamas's military wing and a Nukhba commando. The attack he helped plan resulted in the deaths of Second Lieutenant Matan Abramovich, Sergeant Amit Arya Regev, Sergeant First Class Ori Lemd, and Sergeant Gadi Kotel. This operation marks a significant closure for the 162nd Division, as the fallen soldiers served under its command during Operation Gideon's Chariots, and the division's 215th Fire Brigade carried out the strike.
Throughout the war, Hamouda systematically targeted IDF forces in the Gaza Strip and was involved in terrorist activities. Recently, he was reportedly advancing terror plans against IDF forces and Israeli civilians and working to restore the organization's military capabilities, in violation of the ceasefire. He was eliminated in an airstrike to neutralize the threat.
Security forces in the Southern Command are deployed in the area according to agreement and will continue to operate to remove all threats.
