IDF eliminates Nukhba commander involved in October 7 abductions

The IDF struck in Khan Yunis on Monday and eliminated Muhammad Khalil Muhammad Aslam, a Nukhba platoon commander in Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Aslam commanded a terrorist cell that participated in abducting Israeli civilians during the October 7 massacre. In recent months, he had been advancing attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians. The terrorist was killed in a precise aerial strike. IDF troops under Southern Command remain deployed in the area under the ceasefire agreement and will continue operating to remove immediate threats.
