A squad commander in Hamas’s elite Nukhba force during the October 7 terror onslaught was killed in a recent airstrike in northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoun, the military says.
Ahmed Hassan Salameh a-Swarkeh, according to the IDF, invaded Israeli towns on October 7, and was later behind sniper attacks against Israeli forces in Beit Hanoun.
The IDF says it was tracking a-Swarkeh for a lengthy period, and he was eventually spotted by troops of the 414th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit, whereupon an Israeli Air Force drone struck and killed him.
