WATCH Justice Served: IDF and Shin Bet Eliminate Terrorists Who Abducted Noa Argamani, Avinatan Or, and Eitan Mor

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) announced a significant "closing of the circle" following months of focused intelligence and operational work, confirming the targeted elimination of eight terrorists who participated in the October 7 massacre. Among those killed were four operatives directly responsible for the abduction and detention of Israeli civilians, including high-profile hostages Noa Argamani, Avinatan Or, and Eitan Mor, from the Nova music festival.

The targeted killings, executed throughout 2025, were made possible by "intelligence deciphering" from the Military Intelligence Directorate, in cooperation with the Israeli Air Force. This effort is centralized within a special command post, "Ne'eli HAP", established within the Shin Bet and Southern Command Intelligence, with the explicit mission to eliminate all terrorists who breached Israeli territory on October 7. The security organizations emphasized that this operation is a central pillar in the effort to restore security to residents of the Gaza envelope.

Families' Response: "Fire and the Wrath of the IDF"

The families of Avinatan Or and Eitan Mor, both of whom were among the last 20 living hostages released from Gaza in early October, responded to the announcement with strong emotional approval.

"We heard with happy emotions that the terrorists who abducted our dear Eitan Mor and Avinatan Or were eliminated by the IDF and Shin Bet," the families wrote. "We want to thank the heroic soldiers and Shin Bet for these eliminations. The vile and cursed terrorists who have not yet been eliminated need to know that their day will also come, and that whoever chose the path of terrorism will receive the fire of hell; whoever murdered, kidnapped, and raped will receive the wrath of the IDF."

They further stated that those terrorists who were eliminated "will no longer kidnap, murder, and will not be released in the next deal to return to murder, rape, burn, and kidnap children." Concluding with a firm message to the government, they declared: "There were days in Jewish history when after disasters we presented the other cheek, but those days are over. October 7 woke us all up and we demand that the government continue to attack those who kidnapped, murdered, and raped. Do not let anyone escape the punishment he deserves."
