IDF Kills Terrorist Behind Inbar Haim Kidnapping and Another Gaza Operative
Over the weekend, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), guided by intelligence from the Shin Bet, conducted targeted strikes in central Gaza, killing two terrorists from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) organization. One of the terrorists, Taher Ahmad Salem Abd Alwahad, was responsible for leading the kidnapping of Inbar Haim during the October 7 massacre at the Nova Party compound.
In a separate strike, the IDF eliminated Salah Zibhi Salah Qatrawi, another PIJ operative who attempted to orchestrate terrorist attacks against IDF forces near the humanitarian aid distribution center (GHF) in southern Gaza. His actions endangered Gaza residents by cynically exploiting humanitarian efforts.
These operations come amid ongoing efforts by terrorist groups to plan immediate attacks against Israeli forces and civilians. The IDF continues to act on intelligence to prevent further threats in the region.
