The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have continued targeted operations against militants involved in the October 7 massacre. On Sunday, the IDF struck in southern Gaza, killing Asma Kamal Shahda Abu Tim, a commander in Hamas's military wing.

Throughout the conflict, he actively promoted terror attacks against Israeli forces and civilians.
Earlier in the weekend, the IDF and Shin Bet targeted and killed Adham Ibrahim Shaaban Nesman, head of operations for Hamas’s Gaza City Brigade. Nesman commanded the Nukhba battalion and led the October 7 raid into Israeli territory from Gaza City. He was also involved in holding numerous Israeli hostages, including Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, Ziv and Gali Berman, Eitan Mor, Matan Angrist, and Omri Miron.
Additionally, on Friday, the IDF, guided by Shin Bet intelligence, killed Taher Ahmed Salem Abd Alwahad, a militant from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in central Gaza. Abd Alwahad led the October 7 attack on the Nova Party complex and was responsible for the abduction of Inbar Hyman, who was later killed.
