More than 20 Hamas terrorists, including several who participated in the October 7 onslaught, were killed in strikes carried out by the 282nd Artillery Regiment in the past month, the military says.
Among the terrorists who invaded Israel on October 7, 2023, was Yousef Jumaa, the commander of a terror cell that raided Kibbutz Alumim, the IDF says.
Jumaa also carried out attacks against Israel and IDF troops in Gaza during the war.
Other operatives killed in the recent strikes are named by the IDF as Samir Laqta, the commander of a Nukhba force cell; Issa Abbas, a company commander in Hamas’s Zeitoun Battalion; and Ismail Adwan, Ahmed Adwan, and Mohammed Adwan, all members of Hamas’s Beit Hanoun Battalion.
