The Israeli military announced the elimination of two Hamas Nukhba terrorists in Gaza, including Razek Sahil Suleiman Abu Shahma, identified as Yahya Sinwar's former bodyguard. Abu Shahma was also described as a Hamas Nukhba terrorist who participated in the October 7 infiltration of Re'im.

In addition to Abu Shahma, the IDF and the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) also killed Hazem Mousa, identified as another Nukhba terrorist who infiltrated Re'im on October 7. The military stated that both individuals were actively engaged in advancing terror attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians.

The IDF further asserted that these terrorists were involved in attempts to rebuild Hamas's capabilities within the Gaza Strip.
