Hamas terrorist Musa Shaldan was killed in Gaza City last week, the IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) confirmed in a joint statement on Monday.

Shaldan, a deputy commander of Hamas's Zeitun Battalion, participated in the October 7 massacre, as well as taking part in the hostage release parades Hamas arranged earlier this year, according to the Israeli security agencies.

He also reportedly carried out numerous operations against IDF soldiers operating in Gaza, including sniper attacks and anti-tank fire.
