Israel Eliminates Hamas Commander Linked to Deadly October 7 Kibbutz Attack

Abd al-Hadi Sabah, a key figure in the Nir Oz massacre, was killed in a targeted airstrike in southern Gaza, according to Israeli authorities.

Abd al-Hadi Sabah, a senior Hamas commander, was killed in a drone strike coordinated by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israel Security Agency (ISA).
Sabah was responsible for leading the October 7 attack on Kibbutz Nir Oz, which resulted in the deaths of 38 residents and the abduction of 75 others.
The strike was conducted in a designated humanitarian zone in Khan Yunis, with Israeli officials stating efforts were made to minimize civilian casualties.
Sabah had also been involved in numerous attacks against IDF soldiers throughout the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
In the same operation, the IDF confirmed the death of Anas Muhammad Masri, a key figure in Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s rocket unit responsible for attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers.
