Earlier on Saturday, the IDF struck a vehicle with a terrorist who took part in the murderous October 7th massacre.

The terrorist was monitored by IDF intelligence for a while and was struck following credible information regarding his real time location.

The terrorist, Hazmi Kadih, infiltrated Israel and took part in the murderous October 7th massacre in Kibbutz Nir Oz.

The terrorist worked for the WCK organization, and following the incident, COGAT representatives demanded senior officials from the international community and the WCK administration clarify the issue and order an urgent examination regarding the hiring of workers who took part in the October 7th massacre and terrorist attacks against the State of Israel.

The COGAT repeatedly calls for the international organizations that operate in the Gaza Strip to provide the Israeli authorities with details of the local employees that are hired by them in the Gaza Strip, to ensure that terrorists are not making use of the humanitarian realm.

"The IDF and ISA will continue to operate to locate and eliminate terrorists who conduct terrorist activities against the civilians of Israel and those involved in the murderous October 7th massacre," a statement said.

"We emphasize that according to current information, it is not possible to link the terrorist to a specific abduction attempt.

"The IDF requests to follow the announcements of official sources only and to avoid the spreading of rumors that hurt the families and the public."
