The Israeli army announced the killing of Hamas commander Ali Qadhi, who led the cross-border attacks on Israeli settlements on October 7. It was reported that Qadhi, the commander of the ‘Nubbe’ unit, was neutralized by a drone attack following the intelligence work of the Israeli Internal Security Agency Shin Bet and the Military Intelligence Directorate.

It was learned that 37-year-old Ali Qadhi was one of approximately a thousand Palestinian prisoners released in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was captured by Hamas in 2011.

According to Hamas, the Israeli army attacked convoys of Palestinians they forced to migrate to the north of the Gaza Strip yesterday. The attacks, which took place at three different points, killed 70 people and injured over 200.
