The IDF killed a Hamas commander on Thursday who infiltrated Israel during the October 7 attacks<\/a>, the military confirmed on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The terrorist, Muhammad Suleiman Byouk, was killed in an IDF strike on the Khan Yunis area in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

According to the IDF<\/a>, Byouk spent much of the war planting explosive devices across Gaza targeting Israeli soldiers.<\/p>\n

He further planned and advanced terror attacks aimed at Israeli soldiers and civilians and also worked to rehabilitate the Hamas terror organization, the IDF added, noting the action as a “systematic violation of the ceasefire.”<\/p>\n

Byouk’s death follows a joint operation by the IDF and Shin Bet<\/a> (Israel Security Agency) on Tuesday, which killed Hamas\u2019s Rafah Brigade commander, Nael Abu Obeid, in a southern Gaza strike, the military said at the time.<\/p>\n

According to the IDF, Abu Obeid was a key Hamas leader who previously served as deputy commander of the Rafah Brigade and commander of the Tel al-Sultan and Yibna Battalions.<\/p>\n

He replaced the previous Rafah Brigade commander, Mohammad Shabanah, who was killed by the IDF in May 2025.<\/p>\n

Abu Obeid directed terror attacks and offensives against Israeli soldiers during his time as Rafah Brigade commander.<\/p>\n

Batash was responsible for managing logistics for the Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades Northern Gaza Brigade and was an integral part of supplying weapons and equipment to Hamas terrorists in the region.<\/p>\n
