On Saturday, the IDF announced that it killed terrorist Salah al-Din Za’atra, the deputy commander of Hamas’s Al-Furqan Battalion, aka the Sheikh Radwan Battalion, based in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan district.
Za’atra, who was slain on July 24, previously served as the commander of the battalion’s combat support company, the army said.
On Tuesday night [August 5, 2025] Israel eliminated a Hezbollah terrorist in Southern Lebanon responsible for directing rocket-launching squads in Syria.
Hassam Qassem Ghrab, who was killed in an airstrike in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, was commanding terrorist cells in Syria that were planning to launch rockets toward the Golan Heights.
Uri Kellner, head of the Golan Regional Council, said, “The operation once again illustrates the instability and ongoing threat across the border, and the need for a determined IDF response that removes threats in real time and maintains the security of the state and its residents.”
Also heard that Netanyahu is planning to fully occupy Gaza with troops. He says its the only way to rescue the hostages, but critics are saying this will endanger them, as Hamas has ordered that they be killed in any rescue attempts.
But which is worse - that or slow starvation?
The Israel Defense Forces killed Nasser Musa, a senior operative in Hamas’s Rafah Brigade who headed the terrorist group’s Military Control Department, last week in a strike near Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.
Musa, killed on Aug. 9, [2025] was responsible for the operational readiness and training of the Rafah Brigade, which carried out attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians during the war.
He was a close associate of Rafah Brigade commander Mohammad Sabaneh, who was killed in May 2025. He also held multiple positions within the brigade, including in military intelligence and the observation network.
“Musa’s elimination further degrades the Rafah Brigade’s operational capabilities and Hamas terrorists’ abilities,” said the IDF [spokesperson].
Two more Hamas leaders killed by the Israeli Defense Force.
From the linked article:
The Israel Defense Forces on Aug. 10 eliminated Hamas terrorist Jihad Kamal Salem Najjar, who took part in the abduction of Yarden Bibas from Kibbutz Nir Oz during the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, the military announced on Tuesday.
Bibas was held in captivity for 484 days before being freed on Feb. 1, having lost 33 pounds. His wife, Shiri, and their two sons—Ariel, 4, and Kfir, 9 months—were kidnapped separately. Their captors later murdered Shiri and the children, afterward claiming they had been killed in an Israeli airstrike.
On Aug. 13, the IDF killed Muhammad Naif Abu Shamala, a company commander in Hamas’s Nukhba force, the military confirmed on Tuesday.
Shamala infiltrated Israel on Oct. 7 and took part in the attempted assault on the IDF’s Ma’aras Post.
During the war, he was involved in planning and advancing multiple attacks against Israeli troops and the state.
The Israel Defense Forces announced on Wednesday that a senior Hamas security official had been killed in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip on Aug. 22.
Mahmoud al-Aswad, who served as head of the terror group’s General Security Apparatus for the West Gaza area, was described by the IDF as a key figure and significant source of knowledge for the organization, emphasizing the importance of his elimination.
Yesterday (Saturday), the IDF and ISA eliminated Hudahaifa Kahlout, “Abu Obaidah”, who headed Hamas’ Military Wing propaganda apparatus and psychological terror operations, and was the spokesman of Hamas’ military wing.
The operation was directed from the ISA situation room and was made possible due to prior intelligence gathered by the ISA and the IDF’s Intelligence Directorate, identifying the terrorist’s hiding place.
He was one of the last remaining senior terrorists of Hamas’ Military Wing from before October 7th, 2023. Over the past decade, he was responsible for Hamas’s military wing propaganda apparatus. In this role, he oversaw spokesmanship across Hamas’ brigades and battalions, coordinated between the organization’s political spokespeople and its military wing, and was a senior figure in determining propaganda policy.
He served as the public face of the Hamas terrorist organization, disseminating Hamas’s propaganda to promote terrorist activity, seeking to influence the Gazan public and Hamas supporters across the Middle East and the world. He led Hamas’s propaganda campaigns and psychological terrorism both during the current war and before it.
Under Kahlout’s command, Hamas’s propaganda apparatus was responsible for spreading footage of the atrocities of the October 7th massacre, using footage taken by Hamas terrorists.
Kahlout was also responsible for distributing incitement videos across the Arab world and among the Palestinian public, encouraging them to commit similar acts of terrorism.
Throughout the war, Kahlout and his aides were behind the release of psychological terror videos showing abducted Israeli civilians and soldiers in the Gaza Strip.
The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday announced the elimination of Taleb Sidqi Taleb Abu Atiwi, who served as a commander in Hamas’s Nukhba Force and infiltrated the Jewish state on Oct. 7, 2023.
Dozens of terrorists involved in planning and executing attacks against Israeli troops were killed in the joint operations by the IDF’s 99th Division and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) in the northern and central Gaza Strip over the past month.
Among them was Ahmad Abu Daf, who served as a deputy battalion commander in Hamas’s Zeitoun Battalion and was responsible for orchestrating “dozens” of ambushes and recruiting terror operatives.
In a significant blow to Houthi leadership in Yemen, Israeli airstrikes in Sanaa led to the death of Ahmed al-Rahawi, the self-proclaimed prime minister of the Houthi government, as well as several senior ministers.
According to Reuters, Al-Rahawi, who served as the Houthi prime minister since August of last year, was killed while attending a workshop that other high-ranking officials were attending as well.
Were all the “high-ranking officials” killed? Best if they were!
Israel kills head of terror group that held Bibas family in Gaza.
Musbah Salim Musbah Dayyah, head of the Mujahideen terrorist organization in Gaza, who oversaw terror attacks and led the group responsible for holding the Bibas family hostage, was eliminated in a joint IDF and Shin Bet operation.
Israel last week eliminated the head of the Mujahideen terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip, the group responsible for holding Shiri Bibas and her children.
The civilized world should celebrate the death of this terrorist. Yet Israel is somehow losing support among Westerners. Trump mentioned this in an interview, saying that Israel is winning the war, but losing public support. How could it be?
Even after electing Trump, the most pro-Israel President ever, in a landslide - here we are, with even many on the Right being swayed by leftist/Islamist propaganda.
Israel on Saturday [September 6, 2025] confirmed reports that the terrorist who boasted to his parents about murdering 10 Jews during the Hamas-led massacre of Oct. 7, 2023 had been eliminated by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip.
Mahmoud Afana was reportedly killed in an airstrike in Deir al-Balah.
“Hi Dad! I’m talking to you from [Kibbutz] Mefalsim. Open my WhatsApp now and you’ll see all those killed. Look how many I killed with my own hands! Your son killed Jews! It’s inside Mefalsim, Dad!” the terrorist can be heard saying from the kibbutz in southern Israel in a recording the IDF released shortly after the massacre.*
“Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest). May God protect you,” his father responds.
“Dad, I’m talking to you now from a Jewish woman’s phone. I killed her and I killed her husband. I killed 10 with my own hands! Dad, I killed 10! 10! 10 with my own hands!” said Afana.
“Oh, my son, God bless you!” his father replied.
The phone belonged to Liraz Assulin, 38, a Jewish woman from Kiryat Malakhi who was killed while trying to escape the Nova Music Festival.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting on Sunday that his elimination sends a “clear message” that Israel will reach all of the Oct. 7 perpetrators.
“Now we called the family and informed it that this terrorist has been eliminated. It is a clear message that we will reach them all.”
It’s impossible to fathom how people who live in the 21st century, connected to the world through all the modern gadgets - “Open my WhatsApp!” - can still be so utterly barbaric and subhuman.
To consider themselves great heros for raping, torturing and slaughtering innocent, defenseless people. Unfathomable.
