The IDF and Shin Bet eliminated in the southern Gaza Strip the terrorist Zaki Yusuf Mahmud Abu Mustafa, commander of the Nukhba force of the Khan Yunis Brigade in Islamic Jihad, who raided Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7 massacre and took part in the abduction of Yigal Yaakov. According to the IDF and Shin Bet, Abu Mustafa – who was eliminated over the weekend – worked extensively to restore the terror organization's capabilities in the Strip, while violating the ceasefire agreement. In another strike, the terrorist Muhammad Osama Abd al-Aziz Saba al-Ish, a Hamas Nukhba terrorist who attempted to advance training and instruction for terrorists and worked to recruit additional candidates, was eliminated.
