The IDF and the Shin Bet (ISA) carried out a targeted airstrike last Monday in the Khan Yunis area of southern Gaza, eliminating Hisham Gamal Muhammad Abu Galala, a platoon leader in the Nukhba force of Hamas’s military wing. Abu Galala was among the key leaders of the assault on the Kissufim military outpost and took part in the abduction of Israeli nationals during the October 7 massacre.

Throughout the war and in recent periods, the terrorist continuously orchestrated and advanced hostile plots targeting IDF troops and Israeli civilians. He actively worked to rehabilitate Hamas’s operational capabilities while systematically violating ceasefire understandings. The terrorist was neutralized from the air to remove the imminent threat he posed decisively.
