Israel took down the Hamas terrorist responsible for the abduction of Yarden Bibas.

The Israeli Army confirmed the death of Jihad Kamal Salem Najjar, a member of Hamas's armed wing, during an airstrike carried out on August 10 in the southern Gaza Strip. The information was released in a joint statement by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the internal intelligence service Shin Bet, which identified Najjar as one of the direct perpetrators of the kidnapping of Argentine-Israeli citizen Yarden Bibas, who was captured during the massive attack carried out by Hamas on October 7, 2023. The operation, coordinated under the supervision of the IDF Southern Command, is part of Israel's military policy to eliminate the perpetrators of Hamas's incursion into Israeli territory, an attack that left around 1,200 dead and 251 kidnapped. Along with the statement, the Army released a photograph of the moment of Bibas's abduction in which Najjar is indicated, confirming his role in the action.
