Israel has vowed to hunt down and kill all 6,000 Hamas terrorists who took part in the attacks on Israelis in the kibbutzim and at the Nova Music Festival on October 7, 2023. It believes that it has so far killed about 4,000, or two-thirds of those who participated in those attacks, that the Arabs call the “Nukhba” (“the elite” or “the chosen ones”). Another batch were taken care of this last week. More on the targets now eliminated can be found here: “IDF kills numerous terrorists in Gaza strikes, including Oct. 7 kidnapper of Alexander Dancyg,” Jerusalem Post, October 28, 2026:
The IDF struck targets in the Gaza Strip in the past week, killing multiple terrorists from the military wing of the Hamas terrorist organization, according to the military.
Anas Akram Muhammad Humaida, a Nukhba commander who raided the Sufa military post during the October 7 massacre, was killed in a strike in the Khan Yunis area.
In addition, terrorist Ashraf Mahmud Youssef Dahlan, a platoon commander in the East Jabalia Battalion who infiltrated Israeli territory during the October 7 massacre, was killed in the Gaza City area.
Two days ago, terrorist Mahmud Othman Abdullah Alwan, a Nukhba commander in the West Jabalia Battalion, was also killed in the Gaza City area.
The IDF killed three terrorists on Thursday, including a Hamas Nukhba who infiltrated Kibbutz Nir Oz and took part in the abduction of Israeli civilians during the October 7th massacre, the military said on Wednesday.
Ahmed Muhammad Ahmed Baraka, a Nukhba terrorist in Hamas’ military wing, was killed in southern Gaza during Thursday strikes, the military announced.
The terrorist was responsible for abducting Israeli civilians during the October 7 massacre, including Alexander Dancyg from Kibbutz Nir Oz, the IDF said.
According to the military, he also held several hostages during the war, including Nimrod Cohen in the southern Gaza Strip.a Strip.
Alexander Dancyg was 76 years old when Ahmed Muhammad Ahmed Baraka seized him and took him back to Gaza. He was later murdered in captivity. Baraka also took others hostage., including Nimrod Cohen, who endured torture and starvation while being held.
Now the IDF has dispatched more than two-thirds — 4,000 — of the 6,000 Nukhba participants to their 72 dark-eyed nonexistent houris. The IDF, relentless, implacable, determined, will not stop until it has killed, or otherwise accounted for, the last 2,000 The scorecard for this past week is four Nukhba terrorists — platoon commander Omar Awadallah, as well as Moataz Mahmoud Mohammed Nimr, Mahmud Othman Abdullah and Ahmed Muhammad Ahmed Baraka — and two other Hamas terrorists who did not take part in the October 7 attacks. 4,000 killed, 2,000 — or now 1,996 — still to go. Almost all of those 2,000 are now bottled up in Gaza. The IDF has paid informants to locate their whereabouts in the Strip. For the handful of Nukhba participants who may have managed to escape abroad, the Mossad will take over from the IDF the job of hunting them down and killing them. I’ll continue to keep score here. It’s a pleasurable task.

important update for would- be Jihadis: Because of excessive demand resulting from successful Israeli eliminations, the reward has been reversed to one dark eyed maiden per 72 dead terrorists.
Cynthia says
Each of these terrorists deserved worse than a quick death. They were trained by UNWRA schools and sheltered in attack tunnels while letting Gazans die as human shields. The headquarters and attack launching pads were in hospitals, schools and civilian apartments.
Hamas wanted as many civilians as possible to be killed in order to demonize Israel.
