Two Hamas terrorists who participated in the October 7 onslaught, one of whom was involved in guarding a former slain hostage, were killed in recent airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, the IDF says.
Last Wednesday, Abdullah Abu Riala, a member of Hamas’s Shati Battalion in Gaza City was killed in a drone strike.
The IDF says Abu Riala participated in the October 7 massacre and was later among those responsible for guarding Cpl. Noa Marciano in Gaza. Marciano, who was abducted on October 7, was later killed by Hamas at Shifa Hospital.
Her body was recovered by the IDF in November.
A separate drone strike killed Ayman Khaled Ahmed Abu al-Yahni, who the IDF says was a member of Hamas’s elite Nukhba force and was involved in attacking the Erez Crossing during the October 7 onslaught.
