Israeli Army neutralizes commander of one of Hamas units

The Israel Defense Forces and the security service have neutralized Zakar Abu Karim, a commander of Hamas’s “Nukhba” unit.

According to “Elchi”, citing “Ynet”, this was reported by an army spokesperson.

According to the information, Abu Karim was one of the leaders of the raid on the Kisufim kibbutz (an Israeli agricultural commune – ed.) during the events of October 7, 2023.

“Throughout the war in the Gaza Strip, he organized and carried out terrorist operations against Israel Defense Forces. Recently, he violated the ceasefire agreement, kept a large number of weapons in his house, and attempted to reorganize the organization and conduct training exercises in preparation for future attacks,” the Israeli military stated.

It is also noted that another Hamas terrorist was killed along with Abu Karim.
