Israel's military said on Saturday it had killed a Hamas commander involved in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack, along with two other Hamas members in separate strikes across the Gaza Strip earlier this week.

According to the army, an airstrike in central Gaza on Monday killed Mohannad Asaad Mahmoud Abu Ghazal, whom it identified as the commander of a Hamas Nukhba (elite) unit and accused of taking part in the attack on Kibbutz Kissufim during the Oct. 7 assault.

In a strike in northern Gaza on Tuesday, Israeli forces reportedly killed Raed Hani Mohammad Al-Amsi, a reconnaissance operative in Hamas' aerial unit, and Nabhan Mohammad Nabhan Al-Amsi, head of a department in the military intelligence branch of Hamas' Gaza Brigade.
