The Israeli army killed a Hamas commander who helped lead the October 7 terror attack that killed about 1,200 people and saw about 240 others taken hostage.
Adil Mismah, Commander of the Nukhba Company in the city of Deir al-Balah, “was eliminated,” the Israel Defense Forces wrote on X Monday.
Mismah had led the terrorists to Kibbutz Kissufim and ordered other gunmen to destroy the communities of Nirim and Be’eri, according to The Jerusalem Post.
The commander was killed in an airstrike directed by Israeli ground forces, officials said.
The IDF said troops also “attacked Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist targets” in Shejaiya and found a large cache of weapons and destroyed a launch post and “eliminated” terrorist cells that had attacked Israeli forces.
A Khan Yunis rocket launcher was also downed by the IDF, as the Israeli Navy targeted Gaza targets, officials said Monday morning.
Israel says its war in the disputed territory will drag on for months to come, defying international calls for a prolonged ceasefire.
