During the night between Wednesday and Thursday, Israeli Air Force aircraft, under the intelligence guidance of the Shin Bet, the 215th Fire Brigade, the 162nd Division, and military intelligence, attacked a terrorist infrastructure in Beit Lahiya, where terrorists of the Hamas terrorist organization operated, including a number of Nukhba terrorists who took part in the murderous massacre in the Gaza envelope on October 7, 2023.
Among the terrorists killed were Jihad Mahmoud Yahya Kahlot, a company commander in the Hamas terror organization's Nukhba force, and Muhammad Riyad Ali Okal, company commanders in the Hamas terrorist organization, who commanded the raid on the Gaza envelope on October 7 and led the murder and abduction at the Mefalsim bend. These are two terrorists who were among the leaders of the fighting in the northern Gaza Strip against IDF forces during the maneuver that is still taking place on the ground.
The attack killed other terrorists from the East Jabaliya Battalion who were involved in fighting against IDF forces, including Anas Jalal Muhammad Abu Shakian, a battalion commander who raided the Mifalsim area on October 7, Nur al-Din Muhammad Yahya Abu Jedian, a Nukhba terrorist in the battalion, and Sahib Hassan Ali Matar Ad'im, a terrorist in the battalion.
