A Hamas commander who invaded Israel during the terror group’s October 7, 2023, onslaught was killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza City earlier today, the military says.

The military names the commander as Jamal Mahmoud Abu Kamil.

Recently, according to the IDF, Abu Kamil was advancing attacks against troops, and he was targeted to “remove a threat.”

Earlier, the Hamas-run Interior Ministry identified Abu Kamil as Gaza’s police chief.
