Israeli forces eliminated three Hamas Nukhba terrorists in airstrikes last week in the Gaza Strip, including a terrorist who participated in the October 7 massacre and the kidnapping of Israeli civilians from Kibbutz Nir Oz, among them Alexander Dancyg, and later helped hold additional hostages during the war.
1+In a strike carried out last Thursday in southern Gaza, Israeli forces killed Ahmed Mohammed Ahmed Barkha, a Nukhba terrorist in Hamas’s military wing. Barkha participated in the raid on Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7 terror attack and took part in kidnapping several Israeli civilians, including Alexander Dancyg.
During the war, the terrorist also helped hold numerous Israeli hostages in southern Gaza, including Nimrod Cohen.
1+In another strike last Friday in northern Gaza, two additional terrorists from Hamas’s military wing were killed: Omar Awadallah, who served as a Nukhba platoon commander, and Moataz Mahmoud Mohammed al-Namar, a terrorist in the organization’s Nukhba unit.
The three terrorists killed from the air had been working throughout the war, and especially recently, to advance terror operations against Israeli forces and Israeli civilians. At the same time, they were rebuilding Hamas’s military capabilities, systematically violating the ceasefire agreement.
