Jerusalem, 28 June, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) reported that in a “precise strike” in the Shejaiya area in Gaza last week it eliminated Abd al-Rahman Maher Abd al-Karim Ziyada, commander of Hamas’ Nukhba Terrorist Cell.
Abd al-Karim Ziyada infiltrated Israeli territory during the October 7 massacre and stole IDF vehicles, taking them into the Gaza Strip.
Throughout the war, and particularly in recent times, said the IDF, Abd al-Karim Ziyada attempted to advance terror plots against IDF units operating in the Gaza Strip and that he posed an “immediate threat” to its forces.
