The IDF announced that Ahmed Hussein Mohammed Kafina, the Central Refugee Camps area commander of the armed group Kataib al-Mujahideen, was killed during an operation conducted in the southern Gaza Strip.

In its statement, the IDF alleged that Kafina participated in the October 7 attacks by infiltrating Israeli territory, played a role in several hostage-taking operations, and was involved in directing those operations.

The statement further claimed that Kafina supported plans for attacks against Israeli forces and Israeli civilians throughout the course of the war.

The Israeli military said Kafina was targeted in a precision airstrike because he posed an "imminent threat" to Israeli forces.

The IDF added that Southern Command units will continue to be deployed in the area in accordance with the agreement and will continue operations aimed at eliminating threats.
