IDF KILLS HAMAS COMMANDER WHO MURDERED FATHER IN FRONT OF HIS SONS ON OCTOBER 7

Taasa family home

The aftermath of Hamas's attack on Netiv Ha'asara in the Negev



Israeli forces in Gaza have killed the Hamas terrorist who led the October 7
assault on the north-west Negev moshav of Netiv Ha’asara, the Israel Defence
Forces and Israel Security Agency said on Tuesday.

Ahmed Wadia appeared in video footage captured from the October 7 attack
drinking a Coca-Cola can from the fridge of the Taasa family home, moments after
murdering Gil Taasa, 46, in front of his two youngest sons, Koren, 12, and Shai,
8. 

He sipped the Coke in front of the bleeding children before leaving the home.
Koren and Shai then ran next door and hid in the safe room for hours before
being evacuated.



Israeli fighter jets struck a Hamas compound near the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in
Gaza City, killing eight terrorists from Hamas’s Daraj Tuffah Battalion,
according to the joint statement by the IDF and ISA. Ahmed Wadia, a member of
the terror group’s Nukhba force who led the invasion of Netiv Ha’asara – located
directly adjacent to the Gaza fence – was killed in the strike.

Another terrorist killed in the strike, according to the IDF, was “responsible
for several combat specialties in the Daraj Tuffah Battalion, including
engineering, sniping and anti-tank operations, and was responsible for supplying
the explosives used to blow up the security fence in the Daraj Tuffah
Battalion’s area during the massacre”. 

On October 7, Wadia, who was active in Hamas’ parachute array, infiltrated the
community using a paraglider and oversaw the massacre of 21 residents and the
kidnapping of one to Gaza.

Gil Taasa, 46, who was murdered that day, was a senior firefighter in the
Ashkelon fire station. On the morning of October 7, Taasa was at home with his
two youngest sons, Koren and Shai. After he ran out of ammunition, the
terrorists threw a grenade into the shelter where they were hiding. Taasa leapt
on the grenade to save his sons, who were wounded but survived.

Taasa’s oldest son, Or, 17, was murdered by Hamas terrorists at Zikim Beach,
where he had gone early in the morning to surf with friends.

“My sons are happy and that’s the most important thing,” said Gil’s widow,
Sabine Taasa, after receiving the news of Wadia’s death, according to Israel’s
Channel 12.

“My son Koren told me he wanted to see a picture of [Wadia] dead. I personally
will close the circle only after I know that all Hamas members and [Hamas leader
in Gaza Yayha] Sinwar have been eliminated,” she added.
