It identified Muhammad Jamal Mahmoud Abu al-Shaar, a Hamas squad commander killed in Gaza City, as a participant in the abduction of six hostages from Kibbutz Be’eri. A separate strike in Jabalia killed Musab Abd al-Jalil Sakab Balbisi, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander who also entered Israel during the massacre.
