IDF and ISA Eliminate Hamas Nukhba Platoon Commander Involved in October 7 Kissufim Raid

  • On Sunday, The Israel Defense Forces and Israel Security Agency announced they eliminated Hisham Jamal Muhammad Abu Ghala, a Hamas Nukhba platoon commander, during an airstrike in the Khan Younis area of the southern Gaza Strip last week.
  • Abu Ghala led the raid on The Kissufim military outpost and participated in abducting Israelis during the October 7, 2023, massacre, when roughly 150 Nukhba operatives infiltrated the region.
  • An IDF probe released in 2025 found the fighting resulted in 27 soldiers, 10 kibbutz civilians, six Thai workers, and one volunteer security member killed, with one Israeli civilian also killed by friendly fire.
  • Israeli officials stated Abu Ghala recently advanced attacks against IDF troops and civilians in systematic ceasefire violations. Before the strike, forces used precise munitions and aerial surveillance to mitigate civilian harm.
  • The ceasefire, effective for about a year, allows targeted Israeli strikes against operatives rebuilding militant capabilities. Security forces under the Southern Command remain deployed to remove any immediate threats.
