IDF eliminates Hamas Nukhba commander involved in October 7 Kissufim raid

The IDF and ISA eliminated Hisham Jamal Muhammad Abu Ghala, a Nukhba platoon commander in Hamas' military wing, in an airstrike in the Khan Younis area last Monday. Abu Ghala led the raid on the Kissufim outpost and participated in abducting Israelis during the October 7 massacre. The IDF stated the terrorist had recently advanced attacks against Israeli troops and civilians and worked to restore Hamas capabilities in violation of the ceasefire. Precise munitions and aerial surveillance were used to mitigate civilian harm.
