A Hamas terrorist who invaded Israel during the October 7, 2023, onslaught was killed in a recent airstrike in the northern Gaza Strip, the IDF says.
Additionally, over the past day, the military says the Israeli Air Force struck over 115 targets across Gaza.
The drone strike in northern Gaza, directed by troops of the 162nd Division, killed Mohammed Shaheen, who the military says was a member of Hamas’s elite Nukhba force in the terror group’s East Jabalia Battalion. The IDF says he participated in the October 7 attack.
The other targets hit by the IAF included rocket launchers, buildings used by terror groups, tunnels, other infrastructure, and cells of operatives, the military says.
The Israeli Navy also carried out shelling in northern Gaza to assist ground troops operating in the area, the IDF adds.
