A TOP Hamas commander who was behind a sickening massacre that left more than 100 people dead in one Israeli town has been killed.
Abed Alrahman, the deputy commander of the Nuseirat Battalion, was wiped out in an airstrike on Tuesday, the Israeli Defence Force claimed.
Israel said two other Hamas commanders – Khalil Muhajez and Khalil Tatri – were also killed.
Hundreds of Hamas terrorists swarmed Israel’s Be’eri Kibbutz early on October 7 and slaughtered civilians – including children and babies – in their bedrooms.
Israeli troops discovered unimaginable horrors of dead babies and 20 children tied up and burned in the village.
Sickening photos showed bullet-ridden coat pegs in a bloodstained nursery devastated by the militants.
