Jerusalem, 21 June, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) said that, together with the Shin Bet (Israel’s anti-terror General Security Service), it attacked in southern Gaza Strip over the past weekend and eliminated the terrorist , commander of the Nukhba unit in the Khan Younis Brigade in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror organization.
The terrorist raided Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7 massacre, and took part in the abduction of Yigil Yaakov.
In a photo collected by the IDF, Abu Mostafa is documented in Israeli territory during the abduction of Yigil Yaakov from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7.
In recent times, Abu Mostafa acted extensively to rebuild the capabilities of the Islamic Jihad in the Strip, while violating the ceasefire agreement.
In addition, he advanced numerous terror plots against our forces, and attempted to conduct terrorist training at Nasser Hospital, in order to avoid elimination while operating within it.
Abu Mostafa, said the IDF, posed an immediate threat to our forces operating in the area, and was eliminated in a precise strike.
