The IDF and Israel Security Agency announced they eliminated two Hamas Nukhba terrorists who took part in the October 7th massacre at the Re'im camp, according to a statement from Israel War Room. Hazem Mousa was struck Sunday, and Razek Sahil Suleiman Abu Shahma — who served as Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's personal bodyguard — was killed Monday, both in strikes near Khan Yunis in southern Gaza. The IDF said the two had continued plotting attacks against Israeli troops and civilians while helping Hamas rebuild its terror infrastructure, in direct violation of the ceasefire agreement. Israeli forces said precise munitions and aerial surveillance were used beforehand to minimize harm to civilians. The strikes underscore Israel's continued campaign to hunt down October 7th perpetrators despite the ceasefire, officials indicated.
