Israel Defense Force (IDF) announced the successful elimination of Abd al-Hadi Sabah, a top Hamas commander responsible for the heinous attack on Kibbutz Nir Oz on Oct. 7. Sabah, who led the infiltration into Kibbutz Nir Oz near the Gaza border, was killed in a targeted drone strike in the Western Khan Yunis Battalion.
The IDF, in collaboration with the Israeli Security Agency (ISA), conducted an intelligence-based strike to eliminate Sabah, who was hiding in a shelter within a designated humanitarian area in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza. Sabah was identified as one of the leaders of the infiltration into Kibbutz Nir Oz and had been involved in numerous terrorist attacks against IDF troops.
