A Hamas terrorist who invaded Israel during the October 7 onslaught was killed in an airstrike in the southern Gaza Strip yesterday, the military says.
According to the IDF, the terrorist crossed the Yellow Line and approached troops of the 188th Armored Brigade, “in a manner that posed an immediate threat.” The Israeli Air Force then struck and “eliminated the terrorist to remove the threat.”
“The terrorist who was killed infiltrated Israeli territory during the October 7 massacre, and recently tried to carry out terror attacks against IDF troops,” the military says.
He is not named by the IDF.
