Israel kills Hamas terrorist commander tied to Oct. 7 massacre

Article excerpt

Israel's military killed Sakr Abu Karim, a Hamas commander allegedly involved in planning the October 7 attack on Israel, according to Israeli officials. Abu Karim, who the military says continued orchestrating attacks against Israeli forces throughout the ongoing war, was targeted in an operation that the Israeli government framed as a strike against a key Hamas operative. The killing marks another high-profile elimination in Israel's campaign against Hamas leadership since the October 7 assault.
