A Hamas commander—who Israel claimed orchestrated the Oct. 7 terror attack on the Jewish state—was killed in an airstrike on the densely populated Jabalia camp in Gaza, the Israeli military said on Oct. 31.

“A short while ago, IDF fighter jets, acting on ISA intelligence, killed Ibrahim Biari, the commander of Hamas’ Central Jabaliya Battalion,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Oct. 31.
