The Israel Air Force, under the direction of IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) intelligence, eliminated the terrorist Ahmad Abd el-Halim Abu Hussein, who was responsible for rocket fire in Hamas's Western Jabalya Battalion, and another terrorist who took part in the October 7 massacre, the military said on Monday. 

Abu Hussein was reportedly responsible for several rocket and mortar fire attacks against Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers. 

In the same strike, which took place over the weekend, multiple other Hamas terrorists were eliminated, including the terrorist Muhammad Abd al-Rahman Muhammad Zakout, who infiltrated Israeli territory and participated in the October 7 massacre, the IDF stated. 

Additionally, while operating in southern Lebanon, IDF soldiers located large quantities of weaponry and dismantled numerous armed rocket launchers aimed at Israeli communities in the Galilee area, the military noted.
