Hamas Commander Linked to October 7 Attack Killed

In a significant counterterrorism victory, Israeli security forces confirmed the elimination of Hamas terrorist Hamza Wael Muhammad Asafah, a key figure in the group’s Nukhba Force, responsible for atrocities committed during the October 7 massacre. The precision airstrike, conducted two weeks ago in central Gaza, was the result of a coordinated effort by the Israel Defense Forces and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet).

Asafah played a central role in Hamas's brutal infiltration into Israel on October 7, 2023, an attack that shocked the world with its savagery and scope. But his involvement didn't stop there. According to Israeli intelligence, Asafah also took part in the orchestrated propaganda events that followed, where Hamas cynically paraded Israeli hostages Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben-Ami, and Or Levy before the cameras as part of their psychological warfare campaign.

The targeted strike was carried out only after exhaustive intelligence work and aerial surveillance, ensuring civilian casualties were avoided. This level of precision underscores Israel’s unwavering commitment to upholding the highest moral standards even in the face of an enemy that routinely hides behind civilian infrastructure.

The IDF and Shin Bet reiterated their mission clearly: to defend Israeli lives and dismantle terror networks that threaten the region. “The Hamas terrorist organization systematically violates international law, using civilian infrastructure and populations as human shields,” read their statement.

Each surgical operation such as this one sends a message Israel will pursue those who commit crimes against its people. And it will do so with determination, discipline, and with the moral clarity that distinguishes its fight.
