The Israeli force said Ahmed Al-Dalu, a member of the Islamic Jihad's Military Intelligence Unit, was also eliminated in an IAF strike in Gaza.
"Ahmed Al-Dalu took part in the October 7 Massacre in the Israeli community of Kfar Aza. An additional terrorist was eliminated alongside him. Throughout the war, Al-Dalu was involved in planning and executing terrorist attacks against the citizens of the State of Israel,"the force said in its X post.
In another X post, IDF said it has captured a Syrian man who was allegedly carrying out surveillance operations on the border on behalf of Iran.
The captured operative was identified as Ali Soleiman al-Assi.
"During an intelligence-based, special IDF operation, IDF soldiers detained an Iranian terror network operative in Syria named Ali Soleiman al-Assi," IDF posted on X.
"Al-Assi, a Syrian citizen who lives in the area of Saida in southern Syria, was under IDF surveillance and was found to be a terrorist operative. His activity included gathering intelligence on IDF troops in the border area for future terror activity of the network," the force said, sharing details about the captured person.
IDF said the operation prevented a future attack and led to the exposure of the operational methods of Iranian terror networks located near the Golan Heights.
Al-Assi was transferred for further investigation.
