IDF & ISA Announce: Terrorist Who Held Bibas Family Hostage Eliminated

The IDF and Israel Security Agency confirmed the elimination of the terrorist who held Shiri Bibas and her two sons, Ariel and Kfir, hostage. He was identified as Musbah Salim Musbah Dayyah, the head of the Mujahideen terrorist organization in Gaza. 

According to the statement, the joint activity occurred last week in the Nuseirat area. As head of the group, Dayyah recruited terrorist operatives in Judea and Samaria and within Israel, advancing and carrying out terror attacks. The IDF said the organization under his leadership orchestrated attacks against Israel and against IDF troops operating in Gaza. 

The military noted that Dayyah became the organization’s leader after three previous heads were eliminated in recent months, and that his death further degrades the ability to direct attacks from Gaza into Judea and Samaria and other parts of Israel. Mujahideen terrorists were involved in the October 7 massacre, including abductions and murders, and acted as an extension of Hamas. 

Among their crimes, the group held Shiri Bibas and her sons, Ariel and Kfir, who were murdered in captivity shortly after the war began. The IDF and ISA vowed to continue dismantling terrorist organizations and removing threats to the State of Israel.
