Israel claims killing militant who abducted two citizens, provided weapons to Hamas
Israeli forces said Saher Nidal Sakr helped abduct Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or and later supplied weapons to Hamas during the war.
- Israeli forces killed Saher Nidal Latfi Sakr in an airstrike Saturday in the Nuseirat area of the Gaza Strip, targeting the man who drove the motorcycle used to abduct Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or during the Oct 7 massacre.
- Video from the Oct 7 attack at the Nova music festival famously depicted Argamani being taken into Gaza on a motorcycle, while her then-partner, Avinatan Or, was abducted separately in the same Hamas-led onslaught, remaining in captivity for 738 days.
- The Israel Police, The IDF, and ISA conducted the strike using the Gideonim Unit of the Lahav division, stating they utilized aerial surveillance and precision munitions to minimize civilian risk while eliminating the threat Sakr posed.
- Officials alleged that Sakr, affiliated with global jihadist groups in Gaza, recently supplied weapons to Hamas and coordinated attacks against Israeli troops and civilians, violating the ceasefire agreement according to security agencies.
- Argamani was rescued eight months later during Operation Arnon, which freed four hostages from Nuseirat, while Or returned to Israel in a separate hostage deal on Oct 13, 2025, following the extensive captivity period.
