IDF eliminates Hamas commanders as Gaza ceasefire talks hit troop withdrawal hurdle

IDF killed two Hamas commanders in separate Gaza Strip operations.

One commander, Salem Jamal Abd al-Rahman Abu Labad, was from Hamas's elite Nukhba force.

Abu Labad was accused of taking part in the October 7, 2023 attack on Kibbutz Nir Oz.

IDF claimed Abu Labad infiltrated Kibbutz Nir Oz during the Hamas-led assault.
