Ali Kadi was known for directing one of the most brutal attacks on Israel, which took place on October 7. The Israeli army stressed that his elimination was made possible thanks to the precise determinations of Israeli military intelligence. The attack on him was carried out using drones.
The death of a Hamas member was confirmed by the Times of Israel and BBC television.
Ali Kadi was well known to the Israeli security forces
The 37-year-old Kadi was a figure well known to Israeli security forces. In 2005, he was arrested in Israel for kidnapping and killing an Israeli civilian. However, in 2011, as part of a prisoner exchange, he was released to the Gaza Strip.
This exchange was part of a larger operation, during which approximately 1000 Palestinian prisoners were exchanged for Gilad Shalit, an Israeli soldier kidnapped by Hamas.
