A Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist who invaded Israel during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, onslaught was killed in an airstrike in Gaza last month, the military says it is able to confirm.
The Israeli strikes on November 22 came in response to an attack by a Palestinian gunman on troops in the Strip’s south.
The IDF says that it can now confirm that one of those strikes killed Alaa Khudar, who it says served as the chief of Islamic Jihad’s elite forces in Gaza City.
On October 7, 2023, Khudar invaded Kibbutz Nahal Oz, the army says, adding that he also led other attacks on Israeli troops and civilians during the war.
