One of the participants in the attack on Israel last October, Muhammad Wadiyya, has died. He was killed in a recent attack on a Hamas cell in the Gaza Strip, the Jerusalem Post reported. A surveillance camera captured Wadiyya killing an Israeli in front of his children almost a year ago.
Wadija was one of eight Hamas terrorists killed in an airstrike on a building complex used by the organization near the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City, the Israeli army said.
The military identified Wadiya as the company commander of the Nukhba forces in the Daraj-Tuffah battalion, which attacked Israel On October 7, 2023, he oversaw a massacre in one of the kibbutzim. He was captured on numerous recordings, including from surveillance cameras and body cameras worn by the attackers, the Times of Israel recalled.
The Israeli embassies showed journalists an hour-long film edited from the footage. One of the videos shows a father running with his children to a shelter and the attackers throwing a grenade inside. After the explosion, one of the terrorists leads the crying children out of the shelter, and Wadiya helps herself to drinks from the dead man's fridge.
According to the Israeli army, the other seven terrorists who died in Gaza City along with Wadiya also belonged to the Daraj-Tuffah battalion. One of them, the army said, delivered the explosives that were used to destroy security on the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip in October 2023.
