The Israeli Defense Force, IDF, and Shin Bet announce that a senior Hamas commander who took part in a 2014 infiltration into Israel that killed five soldiers, was killed in a strike in Gaza City a few days ago, The Times Of Israel reports.

Mahmoud Ibrahim Hassan Abu Hisirah had served as the right hand of the commander of Hamas’s Gaza Brigade, Izz ad-Din Haddad, according to the military, including during the war and during the preparation for the October 7, 2023, onslaught.

On July 28, 2014, during the IDF’s Operation Protective Edge, Abu Hisirah, as a member of Hamas’s Nukhba force, infiltrated Israel with other terrorists via a tunnel from Gaza, and attacked an army post near Nahal Oz, killing five soldiers.

The attack killed Sgt. Daniel Kedmi, Sgt. Barkai Ishai Shor, Sgt. Erez Sagi, Sgt. Dor Deri, and Sgt. Nadav Raymond.
