Israeli security service creates new unit to hunt down Hamas members responsible for Oct. 7 attack
Israel's government security service has created a new unit devoted to hunting down and eliminating all members of Hamas who played a role in the October 7 assault on Israel.
Israel's government security service has created a new unit devoted to hunting down and eliminating all members of Hamas who played a role in the October 7 assault on Israel.
The service, Shin Bet, has named the new unit Nili, an acronym in Hebrew for “The Eternity of Israel Will Not Lie,” according to the Jerusalem Post. The force is specifically targeted against a Hamas force known as Nukhba or “Elite.” The Nukhba reportedly infiltrated Israel on October 7 and conducted mass killings at civilian and IDF outposts before returning to Gaza.
The unit comprises both intelligence officials and field operators, and it will reportedly function separately from Shin Bet's other units.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refered to Hamas as “bloody monsters” and has vowed to destroy them. The IDF appears poised for a ground invasion of Gaza, but no order has come down to move forward.
The IDF has already carried out strikes killing roughly half a dozen senior Hamas leaders. An airstrike Sunday morning killed Hamas' deputy commander of its rocket array, according to Israel.
