The military on Tuesday confirmed reports that a Hamas Nukhba force company commander who led the invasion of Netiv Ha’asara on October 7 was killed in a recent airstrike in the Gaza Strip.

Ahmed Fawzi Nasser Muhammad Wadiyya was among eight Hamas terrorists killed in the strike on a compound used by the terror group near Gaza City’s al-Ahli hospital, according to a joint statement from the Israel Defense Forces and the Shin Bet.

The military said that Wadiyya was the commander of a Nukhba force company in the terror group’s Daraj-Tuffah Battalion. On October 7, he entered Netiv Ha’asara — a moshav near the Gaza border — by paraglider and oversaw the massacre of 22 of the community’s 900 residents.

He was the terrorist who was filmed drinking Coca-Cola from the fridge of the Taasa family home, moments after murdering Gil Taasa, 46, in front of his two youngest sons, Koren, 12, and Shay, 8, inside the same home.
