'Israeli' army announces killing of three Hamas fighters in Gaza, including commander
The 'Israeli' military and the Shin Bet security agency announced that a recent airstrike in Gaza killed three alleged Hamas members involved in the October 7 events, including a senior field commander.
According to 'the Times of Israel', the strike was carried out on July 10 by the IOF’s 282nd Artillery Regiment and resulted in the killing of Eyad Nasser, who the army claims was the deputy commander of Hamas’s Jabalia Battalion.
The army alleges that Nasser participated in the October 7 cross-border attack and, despite being wounded during the ongoing war in Gaza, later resumed his operational role.
According to the 'Israeli' statement, Nasser "was involved throughout the war in terrorist activity targeting Israeli forces in the area, including in recent weeks."
The military also said two other Hamas members were killed in the strike: Hassan Mahmoud Muhammad Mar’i, identified as commander of the central Jabalia company, and Mohammad Zaki Shamadeh Hamad, allegedly the deputy commander of a company within Hamas’s Beit Hanoun Battalion.
All three were said to have taken part in the October 7 events, during which Hamas launched a surprise attack on southern 'Israel'.
