NEW DELHI: Israel Defence Forces (IDF) on Friday declared that it has eliminated a leading Hamas sniper and Nukhba Forces Commander involved in the October 7 attack on its territory.
The Israeli military said its IAF aircraft conducted a precision and targeted strike to kill Hamas terrorist Ahmed Hassan Salame Alsauarka in northern Gaza‘s Beit Hanoun.
The IDF claimed that Alsauarka was a squad commander in the Nukhba Forces who infiltrated into and carried out attacks on communities in southern Israel on October 7.
Alsauarka led and directed sniper activity in the area of Beit Hanoun and took part in Hamas’ attacks on IDF troops. Prior to the strike, a number of steps were taken in order to mitigate harm to civilians during the operation. As a result, no civilians were injured during the strike, IDF said.
The IDF shared the clip of the attack carried out on X.

Last month, Israeli aircraft killed 15 terrorists in a strike on a Hamas command center located inside a UNRWA school.
The war room was embedded in a UN Relief and Works Agency school in the central Gaza area of Nuseirat.
According to the IDF, at least 10 of the terror operatives killed were members of Hamas with the rest being members of other terror groups.
The IDF’s announcement included a map of the school compound along with the location of the Hamas war room.
“The Hamas war room had been used by the terrorist organisation to plan multiple attacks against IDF troops in central Gaza in recent weeks. The Hamas terrorist organisation systematically exploits the civilian population and institutions as human shields for their terrorist activities against the State of Israel,” the military said
