JERUSALEM POST STAFF OCTOBER 12, 2023 07:52

IDF fighter jets carried out a night of airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, targeting Hamas’ elite fighting unit Nokhba, which spearheaded the mass infiltration from the Strip on Saturday.

The Israeli military attacked several operational headquarters from which Hamas organized the terrorist encroachment into Israeli territory.

The IDF also announced it had successfully targeted Mohammed Abu Shamala, a senior Hamas naval forces official.

The IDF struck his home, which it said was used to store maritime weaponry that would have been used to attack the State of Israel.

This is a developing story.
