Last Thursday, the IDF attacked the Khan Yunis area in the southern Gaza Strip and killed the terrorist Jihad Samih Mahmoud Ismail, head of the Nukhaba cell in the military wing of the Hamas terrorist organization.
The terrorist raided from the southern Gaza Strip into Israeli territory during the October 7 massacre and took part in the clash with armored fighters from Tank No. 3 and in the kidnapping of Captain Omer Nowtra, Sergeant Oz Daniel, and Sergeant Nimrod Cohen.
In this encounter, the tank driver, Sergeant Shaked Dahan, was injured.
During the war, the terrorist was involved in ambushes against IDF forces with the aim of harming our forces.
Recently, the terrorist has promoted terrorist plots against IDF forces and citizens of the State of Israel, systematically violating the ceasefire.
The terrorist was eliminated in order to remove the threat he posed.
The bodies of Nowra and Daniel were returned to Israel as part of Operation 'Return to Their Borders'.
Nimrod Cohen also returned as part of the operation.
The body of Shaked Dahan was recovered by IDF forces in August 2024.
