The Israel Defense Force (IDF) announced Tuesday it launched a drone strike that killed a top Hamas commander who was behind last year's Oct. 7 attack on the Kibbutz Nir Oz.
The IDF identified Hamas commander Abd al-Hadi Sabah as the perpetrator behind the kibbutz attack, which resulted in the deaths or capture of nearly half of the community's 400 residents, per Fox News. The kibbutz is located in southern Israel, near the Gaza border.
Sabah was discovered hiding in a shelter in a designated humanitarian area of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, the IDF said.
The agency said the drone strike was conducted in conjunction with the Israeli Security Agency (ISA) and that Sabah had also led "numerous terrorist attacks against IDF troops throughout the current war."
