Israeli airstrike kills Hamas paragliding unit commander
Israel Eliminates Key Hamas Leaders Involved in October 7 Attacks
In a significant military operation, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the elimination of two key figures from Hamas involved in the October 7 attacks. Salah Dahham, the head of Hamas's paragliding unit, was killed in Jabaliya, northern Gaza. Dahham was responsible for leading the aerial infiltration into southern Israel during the attacks. Additionally, Fehmi Salmi, a commander in Hamas's elite Nukhba Force, was killed in a separate airstrike. Salmi had led an attack on an IDF outpost on the Gaza border, resulting in the death of 14 soldiers. Since then, he had been involved in multiple attacks on soldiers within Gaza.
The October 7 attacks by Hamas resulted in the deaths of at least 1,200 people and the abduction of 252 Israelis and foreigners. Of the 97 hostages still held, over 30 have been declared dead. Hamas has also been holding two Israeli civilians captive since 2014 and 2015, along with the bodies of two soldiers killed in 2014.
