A Hamas terrorist who participated in the attack on the military’s Nahal Oz base during the October 7 onslaught was recently killed in the Gaza Strip, IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin says in a press conference.
Wael Matriyah commanded a Nukhba Force platoon in Hamas’s Shati Battalion, Defrin says.
He says Matriyah was a “cruel murderer, who participated in the raid on the bomb shelter at the Nahal Oz base,” where seven female surveillance soldiers were abducted to Gaza, and other soldiers were killed.
Defrin says that following a review of intelligence, the military was able to confirm that the Hamas terrorist was killed by troops in Gaza.
