A Hamas terrorist who participated in the massacre at the Nova music festival near Re’im during the October 7, 2023, onslaught, was killed in an overnight airstrike in the Gaza Strip, the military says.

The IDF says the strike killing Hamas Nukhba force terrorist Muhammad Hashem Zahdi Abu al-Rous was among over 50 launched in the past day in Gaza.

The strikes over the past day eliminated several more members of Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and hit buildings used by the terror groups, weapon depots, rocket launchers, weapon manufacturing sites, and observation posts, according to the IDF.
