A Hamas Nukhba Force terrorist who participated in the October 7 onslaught was killed in a drone strike in the southern Gaza Strip last week, the IDF announces.

According to the military, Rafaat Ibrahim Mahmoud Aqdih was among the Nukhba terrorists who raided Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7, 2023, killing and abducting civilians.

During the war, the IDF says he served as an assistant to the head of the Nukhba Force in Khan Younis.
