The Israeli military killed Ismail al-Ghoul, a Nukhba terrorist who participated in the October 7 massacre, the IDF announced Thursday evening.
Al-Ghoul was responsible for instructing other operatives on how to record operations and was involved in publicizing Hamas attacks against IDF troops.
The Israel Air Force also targeted terrorists operating inside a compound within the Dalal School in the area of Shejaiya in Gaza City, the IDF reported earlier Thursday evening.
The compound was used by Hamas as a hideout for commanders and operatives to plan terror attacks against Israel.
Earlier, the IAF, in a joint operation with the Southern Command, destroyed missiles ready for use located in Khan Yunis, in the Gaza Strip, the military said.
