The IDF further revealed that Sabah had been operating from a shelter within a humanitarian area in Khan Yunis. "He was one of the orchestrators of the infiltration into Kibbutz Nir Oz during the brutal October 7 Massacre and had led multiple terrorist attacks against IDF forces during the ongoing conflict," the statement added. The IDF and ISA reiterated their commitment to targeting people involved in the October 7 attack, stating they would continue to pursue all those responsible for the atrocities.

Hamas' attack on Israel 

The October 7 attack by Hamas marked a grim chapter in the conflict, with over 1,200 Israeli casualties and more than 250 hostages taken. While Israel has since launched a significant counteroffensive targeting Hamas units in Gaza, the response has led to over 45,000 Palestinian casualties, raising international concerns about the humanitarian toll. The conflict has intensified further, with Iran-backed groups such as Hezbollah from Lebanon and Houthi rebels from Yemen escalating their offensives against Israel. This has compelled Tel Aviv to address the challenges of a multi-front war, exacerbating regional tensions and amplifying global calls for a ceasefire.
