IDF kills senior Nukhba terrorist, destroys terrorist infrastructure in Gaza City high rise
The soldiers also announced later that he had killed dozens of terrorists, dismantled tunnel wells and underground tunnel paths and located weapons hidden in civil areas.
The Israel Air Force killed the company of Nukhba’s company on Sunday, Hasan Mahmoud Hassein, the commander of the company of Nukhba, in the city of Gaza.
The FDIs said Hussein also participated in the abduction of Israeli citizens on October 7, 2023 and in the massacre of several Israeli civilians when he threw a grenade in a bomb shelter in Re’im, near Route 232.
As part of his role in the battalion of Bureij, he would have led, directed and executed several terrorist attacks against the TSAhal troops operating in the Gaza Strip. Hussein acted alongside Muhammad Abu Atiwi. The two invaded Israel together on October 7, noted the FDI. Atiwi was killed in October 2024.
In addition, the FDIs struck a high -rise building in Gaza City on Sunday, the army announced in a previous declaration.
The soldiers reported that the building contained Hamas military infrastructure which was used to help terrorist operations against the TSAhal troops in the region.

FDI tick operates in Gaza City
“Before the strike, measures have been taken to alleviate civilians as much as possible, including advanced warnings to the population, the use of precise ammunition, air surveillance and additional information,” the IDF said. He added that Gaza terrorists regularly violated international law and exploit civilian structures to use the civilian population of the enclave as a human shield.
Later, the military announced that in the last weeks, the troops of the 188th armored brigade and the 828th brigade operating in Gaza City had killed dozens of terrorists, dismantled tunnel wells and underground tunnel routes and localized weapons concealed in civil zones.
Also Sunday, TSAhal troops eliminated a terrorist cell in Gaza. Before the event, the soldiers identified a terrorist who tried to plant an explosive device near an FDI reservoir. Shortly after, the troops identified a distinct terrorist cell and Israel Air Force eliminated it.
This occurs when the FDIs started the Gideon’s Chariots II operation to invade Gaza City. Since the start of the operation at the end of August, the soldiers have struck several high -rise buildings and occupied at least half of the city.
Military estimates say that more than 800,000 inhabitants have already left Gaza City.
The FDI now controls several districts of Gaza City, including such as Al-Hawa, Al-Nadi, Zeitoun, Sheikh Ajleen, Shejaia and Tuffah.
IAF air strikes reached around 140 targets on Saturday, including weapons storage sites, command structures and agents from various terrorist organizations.
In Gaza City, the troops identified five terrorists who pulled the anti -tank missiles in a building during a patrol. No Israeli victim has been reported.
In coordination with the land forces and the brigade firepower unit, the IAF hit the site, eliminating the cell in what the FDI described as a rapid “circle closure”.
