IDF forces operating in central Gaza killed a Hamas terror cell that was planning an imminent attack on Israeli troops, the military said Sunday, adding that several senior terrorists involved in the Oct. 7 massacre and hostage-taking were among those eliminated.
The strike was carried out Saturday by the Gaza Division, in coordination with the Shin Bet, after intelligence identified armed Hamas operatives approaching the “yellow line” with plans to carry out attacks in the immediate term.
According to the IDF, one of those killed was Ali Sami Mohammed Shkara, a Nukhba unit commander who infiltrated Israel during the Oct. 7 massacre and took part in the abduction of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alon Ohel, Eliya Cohen, and Or Levy from a shelter near Re’im.
The military said two additional Hamas operatives eliminated in the strike, Mohammed Mabhouh and Mohammed Fouad Ghasser Said, were involved in holding hostage Avinatan Or in Gaza.
In a rare disclosure, the IDF released an image of Said inside a Hamas tunnel, where he is seen holding the hostage.
Additional Nukhba terrorists were also killed in the strike, including terrorists involved in launching rockets toward Israeli territory.
The IDF said forces under Southern Command remain deployed in the area in accordance with operational arrangements and will continue to act to remove any immediate threats.

April 12, 2026Islam doesn’t value human life. The terrorists know they may be killed, leaving their families without a breadwinner, but apparently killing Jews and getting themselves killed is more important than their families.

April 12, 2026We have to learn to evolve socialogicaly so as to not kill each other any more.
We have technologically evolved where we can circle the moon, and talk and see another person with a cell phone half way around the world.
We need to progress humanistically to make this world a better place for the human race…..no more killings, no more starvation, and no more mass diseases. Mark Lazare
