An Israeli airstrike has taken out a Palestinian Islamic Jihad military intelligence official who took part in the October 7, 2023, massacre in the Israeli community of Kfar Aza, the IDF says.
The military says Ahmed Al-Dalu has additionally been involved in the planning and carrying out of terror actions against Israeli citizens throughout the war.
He was killed in an Air Force strike along with another terror operative, the army says.
Meanwhile, the 162nd and 252nd divisions are continuing to operate throughout the Strip and have killed many terror operatives in close-quarters combat and by directing airstrikes, the IDF says, adding that forces have also destroyed terror infrastructure.
Troops from the Nahal Brigade are operating in Rafah in Gaza’s south and eliminating many operatives, the army adds. In the past day, they directed an airstrike on a terror cell that was hiding in a military building housing mines meant to harm Israeli soldiers. The strike killed the cell and destroyed the mines.
