Joint IDF and ISA announcement: The IDF and ISA eliminated a Hamas commander involved in holding hostages captive Last week (Tuesday), the IDF and ISA struck in the northern Gaza Strip and eliminated the terrorist Muhammad Hamad Muhammad Gabain, a commander in Hamas' military wing. Throughout the war, he was involved in holding the hostages Ziv Berman, Gali Berman, Eitan Mor, Liri Albag, Agam Berger, Matan Angrest, Omri Miran, Keith Siegel and Alon Ohel in Hamas captivity in the Gaza Strip. Recently, the terrorist advanced attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians and operated to restore the terrorist organization’s capabilities, in systematic violation of the ceasefire. The terrorist was eliminated from the air in order to remove the threat he posed. Prior to the strike, steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance. The security forces under the Southern Command remain deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threat.
