In a powerful announcement, the Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet confirmed that a Hamas terrorist involved in the kidnapping of former hostage Yarden Bibas during the October 7, 2023 massacre was killed in an Israeli airstrike on August 10.
The militant, Jihad Kamal Salem Najjar, participated in the deadly assault on Kibbutz Nir Oz, where Bibas and his family were abducted.
While Bibas expressed partial closure after the strike, he reminded the nation that true justice will only come once all remaining abductees are freed.
Bibas, released in February during a ceasefire deal, lost his wife Shiri and two young sons, Ariel (4) and Kfir (10 months), who were murdered in captivity.
Their bodies were returned under the same deal.
Since then, Bibas has been lobbying Israeli and American leaders to pressure Hamas for the release of dozens still held hostage, including his close friend David Cunio.
Massive protests erupted in Israel as families of hostages marched to the Gaza border, demanding Prime Minister Netanyahu secure a deal to free all 50 remaining captives. Relatives led a march along Route 232 near Kibbutz Be’eri, the site of the October 7 Hamas attack, joined by thousands of supporters. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum pressed officials for dialogue as Defense Minister Israel Katz approved “Operation Gideon’s Chariots II” to capture Gaza City—raising fears the assault could endanger hostages.

In a chilling echo of the October 7 attacks, 18 Hamas fighters launched a brazen assault on an IDF military base, attempting to breach defenses and abduct Israeli soldiers. The fighters reportedly tried to replicate the shock tactics of last year’s attack, triggering a fierce firefight with Israeli forces.
According to early reports, the attackers were heavily armed and sought to seize hostages, but the plot was foiled after a rapid Israeli military response. The IDF confirmed clashes at the base, underscoring ongoing security threats and the high stakes of the conflict.
