IDF says it killed Hamas terrorist who took part in Oct. 7, planned future attacks
2026-06-25
[IsraelTimes] Military also detains suspected Hamas operative who approached Gaza crossing, hits four rocket launchers installed after ceasefire; Hamas says Israel’s demands set back talks

A Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
terrorist who invaded Israel during the October 7, 2023, onslaught was killed in an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
this week, the Israel Defense Forces announced on Wednesday. Akram Abu Madi, a member of Hamas’s military wing, recently acted to restore the terror group’s capabilities and advance attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians, the military said. He was therefore targeted in a strike on Sunday in southern Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, according to the IDF.

The army also publishes a photo of Abu Madi during the October 7 onslaught.

The IDF in recent months has been ramping up strikes on terror operatives in Gaza, including several October 7 terrorists, saying they posed a threat to Israeli forces.
Have to get through the list before the world’s fussing gets too annoyingly heavy, blaming Israel on the one hand for being too mean to those poor Hamas terrorists and on the other hand for taking too long to get the job done.
Also on Wednesday, an unarmed suspected Hamas operative was detained by Israeli soldiers after approaching the Kerem Shalom border crossing in the southern Gaza Strip, the military said. Troops were dispatched to the area "following suspicion of the presence of a Hamas terrorist on the Gaza side of the crossing," the IDF said. The soldiers detained the suspect and took him for further questioning.
Testing reactions yet again. Strip his devices, get all his biometrics, and trace all his connections to inform future jihadi hunts.
"The details and identity of the suspect are currently under review," the army said, and emphasized "that there was no infiltration into Israeli territory" during the incident.

Additionally, overnight, the IDF struck four rocket launchers across the Gaza Strip that were installed by terror groups during the ceasefire, the military said.

"The launch posts that were destroyed were set up by the terror organizations in the Gaza Strip in the recent period, after the ceasefire came into effect," the military stated, adding that they were armed for attacks on IDF troops and Israel, "and therefore posed an immediate threat."

More than 1,000 Paleostinians have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect on October 10 last year, according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry, whose figures do not differentiate between civilians and combatants. The IDF has reported five deaths in its ranks during the same period.

HAMAS OFFICIAL: ISRAELI DEMANDS SENT NEGOTIATIONS BACK TO SQUARE ONE
Senior Hamas official Taher al-Nunu said in an interview Wednesday that Israel has sent negotiations over the future of Gaza back to square one through its demands regarding the continuation of the ceasefire and advancing to the second phase under Trump’s plan. According to al-Nunu, Israel is unwilling to commit to implementing all the provisions of the first phase of the ceasefire — including, he said, allowing sufficient aid into Gaza — and seeks to dismantle the "Paleostinian factions" (the terrorist organizations in the Strip, led by Hamas).
Hamas has not disarmed, nor stepped away from governance. Until that happens, as originally agreed, Israel cannot move to the next step.
He also said that, according to a draft proposal submitted by Israel via the Board of Peace, Jerusalem wants the future government of the Gaza Strip to "promote an Israeli agenda."
Jerusalem wants a neighbour willing to live peacefully next door instead of plotting the next 10/7. They will accept no less, while Hamas will not give up their need to conquer for the glory of Allah, being the Gazan branch of the Muslim Brotherhood and all.
In an interview on Tuesday with Hamas’s al-Aqsa channel, al-Nunu said that since April 14, Hamas has received three different proposals from US President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...
’s Board of Peace regarding the continuation of the ceasefire, and that the latest proposal, received on June 12, was completely different from previous understandings.

The comments came as members of the Board of Peace are set to convene in Cyprus next week, seeking to recalibrate after showing little success in the first six months of the Board’s existence.

Trump’s plan for Gaza, endorsed by the United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
Security Council, led to the establishment of a ceasefire that took effect in October, halting the fighting that began on October 7, 2023.
“Ceasefire” anyway. Hamas has not stopped plotting, and from frequently attacking the IDF and shooting rockets at civilian Israel. But because it is a “ceasefire”, the world yells at Irael when they notice her responding.
In mid-January, Washington announced the launch of the second phase of Trump’s plan for Gaza aimed at bringing a definitive end to the war triggered by the Hamas terror group’s October 7, 2023, massacre in southern Israel. However,
some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go...
little tangible progress has been made in actually implementing the phase and deploying the planned International Stabilization Force to Gaza.
Possibly because Hamas has not yet completed Phase 1.
The second phase provides for a gradual Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, the disarmament of Hamas and the deployment of the ISF,
…the ISF not yet being staffed nor supplied, so deploying is a tad problematic…
a project that has been the subject of repeated announcements and discussions but has yet to materialize.

In late February, Hamas said it was open to the presence of such a force in the Gaza Strip, provided it did not interfere in the territory’s internal affairs.
Meaning Hamas continuing to run things as they have been since 2006…
Furthermore, the terror group has so far refused to disarm.

Israel now says it controls at least 60 percent of the Gaza Strip, compared with just over half following its pullback on the first day of the truce. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last month he had ordered the military to seize 70 percent of the territory.
Or Hamas could preempt IDF action by disarming and stepping away, preparatory to leaving the Strip altogether, as agreed.
Israel and Hamas accuse each other almost daily of violating the ceasefire amid stalled efforts toward a lasting end to the war.
