The Israeli Air Force overnight Wednesday struck and eliminated Muhammad Hasham Zahedi Abu al-Rus, a member of Hamas’s lite Nukhba Force who participated in the massacre at the Supernova music festival on Oct. 7, 2023.

The IAF conducted strikes on approximately 50 terror targets across the Gaza Strip, targeting Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists, “military” compounds, weapons storage facilities, launch posts, arms manufacturing sites and observation posts.

“Prior to the strikes, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians and civilian infrastructure, including the use of aerial surveillance, precise munitions and additional intelligence,” the military said.

“The Hamas terrorist organization continues to exploit the civilian population for its terror attacks against the State of Israel in violation of international law. The IDF will continue to operate against the threat of these terrorist organizations,” added the statement.
