Jerusalem, 30 August, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) struck in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza on Saturday, eliminating Abd al-Fattah Abu al-Eish, a Hamas Nukhba commander who infiltrated Israeli territory during the October 7 attack.
Raed Adel Mohammed Alyan, a Hamas operative, was also eliminated in the same strike.
The IDF said the terrorists had recently been advancing attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians and working to rehabilitate Hamas’s capabilities, in systematic violation of the ceasefire. The strike was carried out to remove the threat.
The Nukhba Squad is comprised of elite, highly trained terrorists and it spearheaded the October 7 massacre.
