Along with Sabah, the IDF also announced it killed Anas Muhammad Masri, commander of the northern sector of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s rocket unit, the Jerusalem Post reported.
Hamas methodically burned all 250 cars at the kibbutz during the attack so that residents who weren’t immediately murdered or abducted couldn’t escape. Homes within the community, once considered a joyous paradise for nearly seven decades, were also destroyed.
Officials said measures were taken to minimize civilian harm during the operation, led by the IDF and the Israel Security Agency.
“The IDF and ISA will continue to operate against all of the terrorists who took part in the murderous October 7 massacre,” The IDF posted on X on Tuesday, along with a photo of Sabah in Israel during the terrorist attack.
An elite Hamas commander who led one of the most horrific attacks on Israeli kibbutzim Oct. 7, 2023, was killed in a targeted strike in southern Gaza, the Israel Defense Force announced Tuesday.
Hamas murdered more than 1,200 people – mostly civilians, including women and children – and kidnapped another 251 in the 2023 terrorist attack.
