The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israeli Security Agency (ISA) have confirmed the killing of a Hamas terrorist known as “Ghoul” who had abducted female IDF soldier Cpl. Noa Marciano on October 7, 2023. This terrorist was also responsible for firing rockets towards Israel.
In a joint statement, it was revealed that the Hamas terrorist named Naeem Ghoul, who had kidnapped Marciano, was eliminated during a joint operation between the IDF and ISA. The statement expressed condolences to Marciano’s family and affirmed that the IDF will continue to combat all terrorists responsible for the attacks on Israel.
It was later discovered that Marciano’s body was found near Shifa Hospital in Gaza, where Hamas had murdered her. The IDF released evidence showing that Marciano had been killed at the hospital and not in an Israeli airstrike as claimed by Hamas.
Additionally, video surveillance revealed that Hamas had brought hostages from Israel to the hospital in Gaza. This incident follows the killing of another Hamas commander, Ahmed Ghoul, who had also participated in the October 7 attack and had held Marciano captive.
The IDF and ISA are committed to taking action against all terrorists involved in attacks on Israel, as they continue to protect the nation from harm.
