A Hamas commander who invaded Israel during the October 7 onslaught was killed

A Hamas commander who invaded Israel during the October 7 onslaught was killed alongside other terrorists in a recent airstrike in the Gaza Strip, the IDF and Shin Bet announce.

The strike on July 10, directed by the 282nd Artillery Regiment, killed Iyad Nasser, who the military says served as the deputy commander of Hamas' Jabalia battalion.

On October 7, 2023, Nasser invaded Israel and, during the war in Gaza, was injured before later returning to his role in the Jabalia Battalion, the IDF says.

"Throughout the war, he took part in terror activities against IDF troops operating in the area, including in recent weeks," the military says.

The strike also killed two more Hamas terrorists who invaded Israel on October 7, the IDF says, identifying them as Hassan Mahmoud Muhammad Mar'i, the commander of the central Jabalia company, and Muhammad Zaki Shamadeh Hamad, the deputy commander of a company in Hamas's Beit Hanoun Battalion.
