Police say that a body found this morning near Sha’ar Hanegev is most likely that of a terrorist who took part in the October 7 massacres.

Police say that after finding the body, further searches were carried out in the area and an empty military vest and a shirt with Arabic written on it were found. The writing on the shirt appears to be the logo of Hamas’s military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades.

Police are still waiting for the identification process to be completed at the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute.

The IDF says it killed some 1,000 Hamas operatives inside Israel on October 7 and in the days following.
