The IDF and Shin Bet eliminated last week the terrorist Hamza Sharbasi, commander of Hamas's Shuja'iyya Battalion in northern Gaza, who infiltrated Israel on October 7 and took part in the raid on the Nahal Oz base, where IDF soldiers were killed and abducted. According to the IDF Spokesperson, Sharbasi had recently been operating near the Yellow Line and was eliminated last week, as mentioned. In the same strike, Azzam al-Haya was also eliminated, a Hamas Nukhba terrorist who had recently held a central role in the terror organization. Eyal Eshel, father of the lookout soldier Roni Eshel, told Ynet: "This is a very important closing of the circle."
