Palestinian media reported that an Israeli airstrike on Saturday in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza killed Saher Sakr, a terrorist filmed on October 7, 2023 riding the motorcycle on which Noa Argamani was forcibly taken into Gaza. There was no immediate confirmation from the IDF or the Shin Bet. Argamani was abducted from the Nova festival near Kibbutz Re'im with her then-boyfriend Avinatan Or, who was taken separately. She was rescued in Nuseirat on June 8, 2024 in Operation Arnon, and Or was released on October 13, 2025 after 738 days in captivity. The IDF and the Shin Bet have been systematically tracking and striking October 7 infiltrators.
