IDF eliminates three Hamas Nukhba terrorists involved in October 7 attacks and hostage abductions

The IDF struck targets in Gaza last week, eliminating three Hamas Nukhba terrorists. Ahmed Muhammad Ahmed Baraka was killed Thursday in southern Gaza; he participated in abducting Israeli civilians on October 7, including Alexander Dancyg from Kibbutz Nir Oz, and assisted in holding hostages including Nimrod Cohen. On Friday, the IDF eliminated Omar Awadallah, a Nukhba platoon commander, and Moataz Mahmoud Mohammed Al-Nimr in northern Gaza. The IDF stated the terrorists were advancing attacks against Israeli troops and civilians and working to restore Hamas capabilities in violation of the ceasefire. Precision munitions and aerial surveillance were used to mitigate civilian harm.
