Hamas leader, Abd al-Hadi Sabah, killed by the IDF in targeted strike
A top Hamas commander responsible for the heinous Oct. 7 attack on Kibbutz Nir Oz has been killed by a targeted drone strike, the Israel Defense Force (IDF) announced.
Abd al-Hadi Sabah, who led the infiltration into Kibbutz Nir Oz, which ravaged the community near the Gaza border on Oct. 7, was killed on Tuesday local time in the Western Khan Yunis Battalion.
The IDF said in a release on social media Tuesday that they conducted the intelligence-based strike alongside the Israeli Security Agency (ISA).
The agencies said that Sabah was hiding in a shelter in the designated humanitarian area in Khan Yunis, in southern Gaza.

“The IDF and ISA will continue to operate against all of the terrorists who took part in the murderous October 7th Massacre,” the agencies said.
The IDF said that they took “numerous steps” to mitigate harm to civilians by using “precise munitions, intelligence, and aerial surveillance.”
Sabah’s leadership on the destruction of Kibbutz Nir Oz in southern Israel left nearly half of the 400 residents murdered or taken captive during the Oct. 7 attack.
This successful drone strike demonstrates Israel’s commitment to protecting its citizens and taking decisive action against those who seek to harm innocent people. The IDF’s use of advanced technology and intelligence to target and eliminate high-level terrorist threats ensures the safety and security of the region.
The eradication of Sabah sends a clear message to Hamas and other terrorist organizations that Israel will not tolerate attacks on its soil. The IDF remains vigilant in its efforts to thwart future threats and defend its borders against all enemies.
The people of Kibbutz Nir Oz can now rest easier knowing that justice has been served for the heinous attack that claimed the lives of so many innocent residents. Israel’s unwavering dedication to combating terrorism and protecting its citizens is a testament to its strength and resilience in the face of adversity.
