The IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) killed Adham Ibrahim Sha’aban Nasman, Hamas’s Gaza City Brigade Operations Head, on Saturday; the two announced in a joint statement on Tuesday morning.
Nasman served as a battalion commander in the terror group’s Nukhba Force, and led Hamas’s Gaza City Brigade’s infiltration into Israel during the October 7 massacre.
He also held several former hostages captive, including Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, Ziv and Gali Berman, Eitan Mor, Matan Angrest, and Omri Miran, the military noted.
“Another piece of garbage [has been] sent to Hamas’s giant landfill in hell,” Ziv Berman wrote in a social media post. “I hope that the rest of [Nasman’s] friends that are unfortunately still alive will understand that their time will also come!”
“Am Yisrael Chai,” Berman concluded and thanked all those involved in the operation.
In addition, the IDF and Shin Bet noted that Nasman held a number of senior Hamas positions, including serving as the intelligence officer of the Gaza City Brigade and the commander of the Al-Shati Battalion.
Recently, Nasman attempted to train terrorists from Hamas‘ Gaza City Brigade and worked to advance the production and distribution of weapons to the brigade’s battalions.
“These activities were carried out as part of efforts to rebuild Hamas’ military capabilities, in violation of the ceasefire agreement,” the IDF and Shin Bet said, adding that its troops will remain deployed in Gaza and will continue to “remove threats.”
