IDF confirms troops killed Hamas leader involved in Oct. 7 attack
Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claimed on social media Monday to have killed a Hamas commander who took part in the terrorist group’s invasion of Israel on Oct. 7, in which they overran the border and massacred 1,200 people.
In a post on X, the IDF said it eliminated Adil Mismah, the Nukhba Company commander of Deir al-Balah.
The Jerusalem Post reported that Mismah led terrorists into Kibbutz Kissufim and directed gunmen to devastate the communities of Nirim and Be’eri.
The IDF said Mismah was killed in an Israeli Air Force airstrike led by troops on the ground.

In the same post, the IDF said it struck terror targets run by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, used for conducting warfare. During the operation, troops located substantial amounts of weapons, the IDF said.
Troops also destroyed a launch post, eliminated a terrorist cell accused of attacking IDF forces with mortar shells, and identified and eliminated a terrorist launching rockets in Khan Yunis.

The post came as Israel announced plans to partially withdraw its forces from Gaza in the coming months as the war against Hamas enters a new phase.
The shift means the IDF will focus on more targeted operations against Hamas, reducing the use of artillery and air strikes.
