The commander of Hamas’s Nuhba Force, who led the killing and kidnapping of Israelis near Kibbutz Reim on October 7, was killed in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, the IDF and Shin Bet announced.
According to the Israeli military, Muhammad Abu Atawi, who served as a Nuha commander in Hamas’s Bureij Battalion, was also working for UNRWA (the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) as of July 2022.
Photos provided by the IDF from an UNRWA spreadsheet show that the Hamas terrorist is on the list. During the October 7 attack, Atawi ordered the attack on a shelter near Kibbutz Reim, where people from the Nova festival had taken refuge.
Four people were held hostage and 16 were killed. Seven managed to survive and were later rescued. Attawi was also involved in attacks against troops during the war in Gaza, the IDF says.
