The IDF says it eliminated a terrorist who took part in the October 7, 2023, invasion of Israel as part of a series of airstrikes in Gaza.
The terrorist, identified by the IDF as Ahmad Mansour, was a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s rocket unit and one of the thousands of terrorists who infiltrated southern Israel from Gaza on October 7.
In the last 72 hours, the Israeli Air Force struck over 200 targets throughout the Strip, including terrorist cells, weapon depots, and structures used for terrorist activity, the IDF says.
The IDF does not specify where in Gaza Mansour was killed.
