In a small measure of revenge, Israeli forces say they have killed one of the 🏴Hamas leaders who helped mastermind the attacks on southern 🇮🇱Israel on Oct. 7
“Yesterday, based on IDF and ISA intelligence, IDF fighter jets struck the Commander of the Beit Lahia Battalion of 🏴Hamas’ Northern Brigade, Nasim Abu Ajina, who directed the massacre on October 7th in the Kibbutz Erez and Moshav Netiv HaAsara,” the Israeli Defense Forces said in a social media post, according to a translation from the Messenger.
Ajina had helped 🏴Hamas develop its drone attack capability, the IDF said, according to the Jerusalem Post. The IDF statement said the elimination of Ajina would be a serious blow to

Meanwhile, 🇮🇱Israel continues to mourn the victims — and heroes — of the attacks Ajina orchestrated.
At Kibbutz Erez, an Israeli community a half-mile north of 🏳️Gaza, a massacre was prevented only by the heroism of a small group of defenders who held off the attackers over a three-hour gun battle, according to People magazine.
One of those defenders died in the fighting. Amir Naim, 27, left behind a pregnant wife, according to People.
“It’s not easy for his wife, who’s also pregnant, but she’s a strong person. She just had her first checkup and everything’s good. She told us Amir left her a present,” Gal Nail, Amir’s cousin, told the publication.
“When I saw my grandfather after he found out, he told me we all knew Amir died a hero,” he said.
The wave of attacks at Moshav Netiv HaAsara, an Israeli settlement that borders on 🏳️Gaza, killed Danny Vovk, 45, a Ukrainian immigrant who’d lived in 🇮🇱Israel for 25 years, according to the Times of Israel.
His friend, Hadar Raz, left a memorial message to Vovk on Facebook, according to the publication.
“Your friend called and told you there was a terrorist invasion. You left the house, in shorts and flip flops, with a gun and your two dogs. You succeed in deterring 20 armed terrorists, and you sacrificed your life,” the message read.
The lives snuffed out on Oct. 7 are the reason Israel must fight on, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday, according to the Times of Israel.
“I want to make clear 🇮🇱Israel’s position regarding a ceasefire. Just as the United States would not agree to a ceasefire after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, or after the terrorist attack of 9/11, 🇮🇱Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with 🏴Hamas,” he said in a news conference.
“After the horrific attacks of October 7, calls for a ceasefire are calls for 🇮🇱Israel to surrender to 🏴Hamas, to surrender to terrorism, to surrender to barbarism. That will not happen,” he said.
Referencing the Book of Ecclesiastes, Netanyahu said, “There is a time for peace and a time for ⚔️War.”
“This is a time for ⚔️War. A ⚔️War for a common future. Today we draw a line between the forces of civilization and the forces of barbarism. It is a time for everyone to decide where they stand,” he said.
