Three Hamas terrorists who participated in the October 7 onslaught were killed in Israeli airstrikes in recent days, the IDF and Shin Bet say.

According to the military, a strike on a Hamas command room embedded within a school in Gaza City on September 30 killed several Hamas operatives, including Muhammad Rafai.

Rafai participated in the massacres at Kfar Aza and Nahal Oz on October 7, and was involved in other attacks on troops throughout the war, according to the military.

Another strike, on October 1, killed two more Hamas terrorists, named by the IDF as Muhammad Zanun and Bassel Akhars, who the military says participated in the onslaught.
