The strike followed Islamic Jihad and Hamas violations of the ceasefire, including fire at Israeli forces on November 22, according to the military.

Alaa al-Din Abd al-Nasser Hasan Khudar, a Nukhba commander within Palestinian Islamic Jihad Gaza City Brigade, was killed in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip, the military said on Monday.

Khudar infiltrated Kibbutz Nahal Oz on October 7, 2023, and continued attacks on Israel throughout the war, according to the IDF.

Kibbutz Nahal Oz was among the communities hardest hit on Oct. 7, with residents killed, wounded, and abducted.

The strike followed Islamic Jihad and Hamas violations of the ceasefire, including reportedly firing at Israeli forces on November 22, according to the military.

The IDF carried out a series of strikes on terror targets, operatives, and commanders across Gaza after the ceasefire was broken.

The operation was directed by the IDF Intelligence Directorate, with the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) providing intelligence, the IDF added.

IDF kills terrorists involved in October 7 attacks

The military has announced the deaths of several terrorists involved in the Oct. 7 attacks, including commanders who infiltrated other Gaza border communities and those who held Israelis hostage.

Security forces said in August that they killed a Hamas terrorist who participated in the abduction of Yarden Bibas from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7.

In April, the military said it had killed a senior commander of the Palestinian Mujahideen terrorist organization who had infiltrated Nir Oz multiple times and was likely personally involved in the abductions and murders of Shiri Bibas and her sons, Ariel and Kfir.

Additionally, in July, the IDF and Shin Bet announced the death of the terrorist who held Emily Damari hostage.
