IDF kills senior Gazan terrorists behind Haggai, Bibas families abductions

The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement participated in planning, financing, and carrying out attacks against Israel, including the October 7 massacre in 2023.

The IDF killed Kataib al-Mujahideen’s military wing commander, Mahmoud Muhammad Hamid Kuhail, also known as Abu al-Mu'tasim, and a senior leader of the group, As'ad Abu Sharaiya, the head of the terrorist organization, in an airstrike on the Gaza Strip, the IDF announced on Saturday.

Kataib al-Mujahideen (“Holy Warriors Brigades”), the armed wing of the Palestinian Mujahideen Movement, has been linked to the October 7 massacre in Israel that included the abduction and murder of Shiri Bibas and her children, Kfir and Ariel, as well as the killing of Israeli-American-Canadian couple Judy Weinstein and Gad Haggai, and Thai workers.

Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, has a long history of using violence and intimidation to maintain its authority. Those who aligned themselves with its military wing, such as the Palestinian Mujahideen Movement, participated in planning, financing, and carrying out attacks against Israel.
