The Israel Defense Forces killed eight Palestinian terrorists involved in the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, including three who abducted Noa Argamani, Avinatan Or and Eitan Mor, the military announced on Thursday.
Ahmad Ibrahim Rajab Sha’er, who kidnapped Argamani and Or from the Supernova music festival, was killed on Aug. 22, the IDF said.
Ahmad Abu Marhil, killed on March 26, 2025, was responsible for abducting Or from the music festival.
Arafat Dib, eliminated on May 30, 2025, was involved in the abduction of Mor and held him captive under Hamas.
Odeh Alyan Ahmad Qaware’a, killed on Aug. 26, 2025, held Israeli hostages on behalf of Hamas.
The IDF also announced the deaths of four terrorists who infiltrated Israel during the Oct. 7 massacre:
Bakr Mujida, slain on July 13, 2025, breached the border fence using a tractor during the attack.
Firas Gharir Suilem al-Hadaf, killed on Aug. 23, 2025, infiltrated Kibbutz Kissufim.
Ibrahim Salah Rajab Bakhit, eliminated on July 6, 2025, also took part in the cross-border assault.
Muaid Mahmoud Muhammad Nofal, killed on March 27, 2025, was among the infiltrators.
As part of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement and in line with government directives, the IDF has begun marking the Yellow Line in the Gaza Strip. The line, which is separate from the perimeter of the former security fence, delineates areas of Gaza currently under Israeli control.
Following ceasefire violations by Hamas—including a deadly attack in Rafah on Monday—Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered the IDF to proceed with the marking and to deliver a stern warning to Hamas leadership via the U.S. monitoring mechanism.
“Every Hamas terrorist found beyond the Yellow Line in territory under Israeli control must evacuate immediately. Hamas leaders will be held accountable for any incident,” Katz told IDF officials.
