IDF kills Hamas terrorist who commanded Oct. 7 kidnappings | JNS
The Israel Defense Forces on Thursday eliminated a Hamas commander who directed the kidnapping of civilians during the Palestinian terror group's Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, the military said on Saturday.
Walid Haniyeh, who served as the deputy commander of a Nukhba Force company in Hamas's "military wing," continued to recruit and train terrorists during the past two-and-a-half years of war, according to the statement.
He infiltrated the Jewish state on Oct. 7 and provided "operational instructions to the terrorist cell as they took Israeli civilians hostage into the Gaza Strip," it stated.
Haniyeh was a nephew of Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh, whom Israel assassinated in Tehran in July 2024, the IDF added.
The Oct. 10, 2025, truce agreement ended the two-year war in the Gaza Strip that began when Hamas, other Palestinian terrorist groups and Gazan "civilians" invaded the northwestern Negev on Oct. 7, 2023, killing approximately 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages.
On Friday, the IDF killed three operatives in Hamas's naval police unit, including the commander in the central camps sector, according t…

Gaza: IDF eliminates two key Hamas financial officials
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency announced Wednesday that they had killed Khader Jamasi, identified as the head of Hamas's funds transfer network in the Gaza Strip, along with his deputy, Muhammad Harazin, in a joint operation carried out Sunday in northern Gaza.
According to Israeli authorities, Jamasi and Harazin served as key financial operatives for Hamas, overseeing the transfer of tens of millions of dollars to the group's military wing throughout the war.
The funds were allegedly moved through a network of dozens of money exchangers operating across the Gaza Strip.
The IDF and Shin Bet said the financial network played a crucial role in sustaining Hamas's military activities by enabling the organization to pay salaries to its operatives and support the planning and execution of attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians.
The two men are the latest Hamas operatives targeted as part of Israel's campaign against the group's financial infrastructure. Israeli officials noted that senior Hamas financial figures Firas Mashharawi and Ihab Khrizim were also killed over the past year.

The Israel Defense Forces has eliminated a Hamas terrorist responsible for abducting four Israeli civilians during the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, the military said on Tuesday.

In addition, throughout the War of Redemption sparked by the Oct. 7 massacre, Ramadan "advanced attack plans against IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians," the IDF said. "As such, he posed an immediate threat to IDF troops operating in the Gaza Strip."

Soldiers remain deployed in the enclave in accordance with the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement "and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat," it added.

Tel Aviv [Israel], March 18 (ANI/TPS): The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) confirmed that Israeli forces eliminated the terrorist Essam Dib Abdullah al-Dalis, Hamas' prime minister and the senior government figure in the Gaza Strip, who replaced Ruhi Mushtaha in that role after the latter was killed in July 2024.

October 7 massacre (Photo: Abed Rahim Khatib / Flash90)
Forces of the 188th Brigade combat team operating in the southern Gaza Strip eliminated a Hamas terrorist on Monday after he crossed the Yellow Line and approached their positions in a manner that posed an imminent threat,
the IDF
said. An

strike, guided by ground forces, killed the terrorist and removed the threat.
According to the IDF Spokesperson, forces identified the terrorist the moment he crossed the Yellow Line, the ceasefire boundary demarcating Israeli military control from areas still under
Hamas
presence, and began advancing toward IDF positions. The strike was carried out immediately following the identification.
The IDF confirmed that the terrorist had participated in the
October 7, 2023
massacre on Simchat Torah and had recently been attempting to carry out terror attacks against Israeli forces operating in the area. His elimination, the military said, represents another "closing of the circle" with the perpetrators of the October 7 atrocity. The terrorist's name wa…

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have achieved another significant breakthrough in Gaza as they eliminated Muhammad Issam Hassan Al Habil, the chief of a Hamas terror cell, in a targeted attack. He was the same militant responsible for the brutal killing of IDF observer Corporal Noa Marciano, who had been held captive by Hamas. According to the IDF, the strike was carried out in direct response to a clear violation of the ceasefire by Hamas. In a joint operation involving the IDF and Israel Security Agency, Al Habil was neutralised in Gaza City's Shati Camp.
The Israeli military confirmed that Al Habil played an important role in the Hamas-led massacre on October 7, 2023. He had orchestrated the abduction of 19-year-old Marciano from the Nahal Oz outpost during the deadly attack.
