IDF eliminates Nukhba commander who infiltrated Israel on October 7

The IDF struck central Gaza Strip on Monday and eliminated Ali Qaid Mohammed Stitan, a Nukhba platoon commander in Islamic Jihad. Ali Qaid infiltrated Israeli territory during the October 7th massacre and throughout the war attempted to advance terror attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians. He was killed in a precise aerial strike after posing a threat to IDF forces operating in Gaza. The strike employed precise munitions and aerial surveillance to mitigate civilian harm. IDF troops remain deployed under the ceasefire agreement.
