Airwars Assessment

Last Updated: November 6, 2025

On Friday October 13th, 2023, a declared Israeli airstrike reportedly killed a company commander in Hamas’ “Nukhba” commando force named Ali al-Qadi together with his wife and their five children in their home in Gaza, allegedly without prior warning.

The attack took the lives of Ali al-Qadi’s wife Sajida Abu Hayya and their five sons: Muhammad Ali al-Qadi, Sajid Ali al-Qadi, Abdul Aziz Ali al-Qadi, Yahya Ali al-Qadi, and Omar Ali al-Qadi. Initially Ramallah News reported the death of four children and a serious injury of a fifth child, but most sources later spoke about the death of five children.

The airstrike that killed Ali al-Qadi was confirmed by the Israeli military. The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) wrote on its website: ”Based on precise IDF and ISA intelligence, IDF aircraft neutralized Ali Qadi, a company commander in Hamas’ “Nukhba” commando force, who led the brutal terror attack against Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip last weekend (October 7th).“ The IDF posted a video which showed the moment the Israeli Military bombed the home of Ali al-Qadi.

Hespress also quoted an anonymous Hamas official who stated that the late Ali al-Qadi was indeed a militant, describing him as a field commander in the elite force of the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Movement. However, there was no official comment on the death of Al al-Qadi from Hamas, as reported by Hespress.

Originally from Ramallah, Ali al-Qadi was imprisoned in 2005 and released in 2011 as part of an exchange deal for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. According to Israeli news website YnetNews, “Ali al-Qadhi was sentenced to life in prison for 2005 for kidnapping and murder of his employer.” After his release, Ali al-Qadi was deported to the Gaza Strip where he lived with his family until his killing on Friday October 13th, 2023. According to Ynet news, “he continued to engage in terrorism; Last Saturday [07/10/23], he commanded some of the terrorists who participated in Hamas’s murderous attack on Israeli border towns.”

The wider al-Qadi family and the people of Beit Nuba, the al-Qadi’s homeland, published a tribute on Facebook mourning the death of Ali al-Qadi, his wife Sajida Abu Hayya and their five children. The post read: “Today, the people of Beit Nuba, as they mourn the sons and wife of its mujahid and their liberated prisoner son, Ali, the judge deported to the Gaza Strip, also mourn all the sons of the Palestinian people who rose during the repulsion of the aggression (…) and will remain stubborn against his defeated forces.”

Al-Bireh Association also expressed its sympathy on Facebook for the wider al-Qadi family, adding that: “(…) Due to the circumstances the country is going through, the funeral will be held for one day today, Friday, at the Lifta Al-Bireh Association, near Al-Hayat newspaper, after Friday prayers”, and posted a picture of four of the sons of Ali.

A brother of the late Ali al-Qadi, Ayat Alqadi, posted his testimony, mourning the death of his brother’s wife and children and sharing the image of the five smiling sons of Ali, one of them still being an infant.

Where possible, Airwars has matched names with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of nearly 7000 victims’ names and ID numbers released on October 26th.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces, and the Israeli military confirmed the strike that killed Ali al-Qadi and his family.

The exact time and location of the strike are unknown, but based on a Shehab agency tweet, the attack happened in the evening shortly before 11:36 PM.

Hespress Beyond Borders Leaded by the elite Qassam Brigades in the "Al-Aqsa Flood"... Israel announces the killing of "Al-Qadi" Saturday, October 14, 2023 - 11:48 AM The Israeli army announced on Saturday that it had killed a senior Hamas commander in an airstrike. The commander led the October 7 attack on towns bordering the Gaza Strip. In a statement, the army said, "An Israeli military aircraft killed Ali al-Qadi, a company commander in Hamas's elite force," without specifying the location or time of the strike. According to the army, al-Qadi led "a terrorist attack on Israeli towns... last weekend." In response, a Hamas official said, "No comment," adding that "any new developments will be announced in official Hamas statements." According to a Hamas official who requested anonymity, al-Qadi is a resident of Ramallah and was deported to the Gaza Strip along with other released prisoners as part of the prisoner exchange deal for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. Al-Qadi was among more than a thousand Palestinian prisoners released by Israel in 2011 in exchange for Shalit, whom Hamas had captured in 2006. The official noted that al-Qadi was a field commander in the elite Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamist movement. Earlier today, the Israeli military announced that it had killed Murad Abu Murad, the commander of Hamas's air unit, in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military stated that Abu Murad played a key role in directing terrorists during the massacre last Saturday, which involved attackers infiltrating Israel from the air in paragliders, according to The Times of Israel. On October 7, Hamas launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, during which its fighters infiltrated Israeli territory by sea in boats, by land by breaching sections of the barbed wire fence, and by air in paragliders, while simultaneously launching thousands of rockets into Israel. The attack targeted Israel. They entered military sites and residential areas, killing some and capturing others. For a week, the Israeli army has been responding with heavy bombardment of the Gaza Strip, after tightening its blockade by cutting off water, electricity, and food supplies. More than 1,300 people have been killed in Israel since the start of the offensive, most of them civilians, including 258 soldiers, according to the latest army figures. The number of wounded has reached more than 3,200, and Hamas has taken approximately 150 hostages, including 120 civilians. The death toll in the Gaza Strip from Israeli bombardment has risen to 2,215, including 724 children, according to the latest figures released by the Hamas-run Ministry of Health on Saturday morning.

Ali Qadhi was sentenced to life in prison for 2005 kidnapping and murder of his employer; He was released in 2011 as part of a prisoner deal and deported to Gaza where he continued to engage in terrorism; Last Saturday, he commanded some of the terrorists who participated in Hamas's murderous attack on Israeli border townsThe Shin Bet and IDF announced that Ali Qadhi, who led one of last week's brutal terrorist attacks against communities in southern Israel, was killed in a drone strike Saturday afternoon. "Under the intelligence direction of the Shin Bet and the Military Intelligence Directorate, an IDF aircraft assassinated Ali Qadhi, head of the terrorist organization Hamas' Nukhba commando unit, who led a terrorist assault in the communities surrounding Gaza last weekend," a statement read.Qadhi was sentenced to life in Israeli prison in 2005 for the kidnapping and murder of Sasson Nouriel in 2005. He was subsequently released and deported to the Gaza Strip in 2011 as part of a prisoner swap deal for the return of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. Nouriel, 50, worked as a foreman at a sweets factory in Mishor Adumim at the time of his murder. Abdullah Arar, with whom he had been working for ten years, hired Qadhi, and the kidnapping occurred only a few days later, on September 21, 2005. Qadhi lured Nouriel to accompany him to see a chocolate-making machine, and Nouriel agreed only on the condition that Abdullah accompany him.In 2011, Nouriel's son, who had petitioned against the Shalit deal, stated that "Qadhi assaulted him with the butt of the gun. They yanked him out of the driver's seat, tied his hands, covered his eyes, gagged him with a cloth and placed him in the back seat. In Ramallah, he was taken to a pre-planned hiding place, where he was joined by Abdullah's brother, Said Arar, and Said Shallada, the man who eventually stabbed my father tens of times."Hamas later posted a video of Nouriel bound and blindfolded, mumbling a text dictated to him by his kidnappers. On his lap was his driver's license. His abduction was referred to by Hamas as the "first rain" in a series of premeditated kidnappings of IDF troops and civilians in response to the IDF's Operation Summer Rains in Gaza at the time. For many, the release of the recording mirrored another terrorist organization, al-Qaeda, which engaged in similar tactics.According to the indictment brought against Qadhi in 2005, following several failed kidnapping attempts, he chose to kidnap an Israeli from the industrial park of Mishor Adumim. He enlisted the assistance of Said Shallada, Said Arar and Abdullah Arar, and conspired together to kidnap Nouriel.According to the indictment, in September 2005, Qadhi and Abdullah forced Nouriel to accompany them to Aram, north of Jerusalem. During the journey, Nouriel was kidnapped at gunpoint and transported to a hideout apartment, where he was filmed by his captors reciting a message confirming his kidnapping by Hamas and requesting the release of multiple Palestinian convicts.Fearing being identified and apprehended by Israeli forces, the kidnappers swiftly transported Nouriel to the Beitunia landfill, where Said Shallada fatally stabbed him and buried his body nearby. According to the Shin Bet, Nouriel had been murdered before his family could file a police report.The terrorist cell informed their operator in Gaza, Muhammad Theria, that they had successfully kidnapped a Jew, providing him with photographic evidence. Only when the Shin Bet located the cell and discovered the body did Hamas claim responsibility for the attack.According to a 2005 Shin Bet report, Qadhi's terrorist cell planned additional attacks, which were foiled after the group was revealed following Nouriel's death. They intended to kidnap Israeli civilians on the Ramallah-Jerusalem road; carry out suicide bombings near Aram in the area of Jerusalem, shooting attacks targeting Israeli civilians in the Ramallah area and abduction of an Israeli civilian working at a gas station in Neve Ya'akov, Israelis from Halamish swimming pools and Israelis from the Mishor Adumim industrial park. However, Qadhi was released as part of the Shalit deal along with others responsible for the kidnapping, including the group's leader, Yasser Salah. Qadhi was deported to the Gaza Strip, where he continued to engage in terrorism. In February 2013, a Hamas unit led by Qadhi was spotted looking for hideouts in order to smuggle firearms to be used in future attacks. Read more

The Israel Defense Forces said Saturday it had killed two military commanders in Hamas, one week after the start of the terror group’s murderous attack on communities in southern Israel in which 1,300 Israelis were slaughtered, as the military repeated its call for Gazan civilians to move south, ahead of an expected ground operation. The IDF said Ali Qadhi, a company commander in the so-called Nukhba commando unit who led one of the assaults on October 7, was killed in a drone strike following intelligence efforts by the Shin Bet security agency and Military Intelligence Directorate. Qadhi was arrested by Israel in 2005 over the kidnapping and murder of Israeli businessman Sasson Nuriel and had been released to the Gaza Strip as part of the 2011 Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange. Visit Advertiser websiteGO TO PAGE The IDF also said it killed the head of Hamas’s aerial array, Murad Abu Murad, in an overnight airstrike on a terror target in the Gaza Strip. The IDF said Abu Murad “took a significant part in directing terrorists during the massacre” last weekend, which included attackers who entered Israel from the air on hang gliders.

According to Hamas-run health authorities in the Gaza Strip, at least 2,215 Palestinians have been killed and another 8,714 have been wounded in Israeli airstrikes since fighting began on October 7. The bodies of an estimated 1,500 Palestinian terrorists were found in Israeli territory following Hamas’s onslaught last weekend, according to the IDF. Meanwhile, the Israeli military continued to urge Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip to evacuate, saying that corridors would remain open until Saturday afternoon. In an Arabic message, the Israel Defense Forces told residents of the northern Strip that they should move to the southern part of the enclave using evacuation corridors between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. “If you care about yourself and your loved ones, go south as instructed,” the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Rest assured that Hamas leaders have taken care of themselves and are taking cover from strikes in the region,” he added. The IDF has notified the United Nations that the entire Palestinian population north of Wadi Gaza should relocate to the southern Strip. In response to the IDF’s call for civilians to move to safety, Hamas told residents to stay in their homes: “Do not follow the propaganda evacuation instructions.” The terror group is known to try and force residents to ignore such notices given by the military. The military’s call to evacuate indicated that the IDF could be readying to launch a ground operation after a week of aerial bombardment in response to the massive Hamas onslaught last Saturday. Hamas terrorists killed some 1,300 people, the majority of them civilians, most of them massacred at an outdoor music festival and in their homes. The military’s top spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Saturday that the IDF was preparing for the next stages of the ongoing war, urging Palestinians in the north of the enclave to evacuate, saying Israel was going to “attack with great force.” “We are deployed and strongly prepared for the next stages of the war,” Hagari said in a press conference. “We are preparing the forces, going over plans, prepared in all arenas, south, north and center,” he said. “We are focused on Gaza but are widely deployed [across the country] that allows us to operate simultaneously in all arenas,” he said. Hagari said hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians have evacuated from northern Gaza to the south, following warnings by the IDF that it will soon heavily target the area. “There are still citizens who have not yet evacuated. Anyone who chooses not to evacuate puts himself and his family in danger. We will attack with great force in the areas that have been evacuated,” he said. Hagari said Hamas is under pressure and trying to prevent Palestinian civilians from evacuating, “because the organization’s leaders are hiding beneath them.” Meanwhile, there was renewed rocket fire toward southern and central Israel from Saturday morning after a lull of approximately 10 hours, a pattern that the Gaza terror groups have replicated over the past three days. Four people were reported wounded by a mortar attack near the southern community of Nirim, close to the border with the Gaza Strip. According to the Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, one was listed in serious condition and underwent surgery, while another was lightly wounded. Two others were in serious condition at the Beilinson Medical Center. Four rockets fired in one of the salvos by Gaza terrorists landed in the border city of Sderot causing extensive damage but no injuries, city officials said. One rocket landed on the roof of a yeshiva and another hit an educational institute. A further projectile landed on the railway line and the fourth fell in a road. A Channel 13 film team was meters away from the rocket that exploded in the road but took cover in a shelter. One person was also reported by Hebrew-language media to have been injured when an anti-tank guided missile was fired from the Gaza Strip toward the Eshkol region in southern Israel. Shortly afterward, the IDF said that the cell that had launched the missile was hit in a drone strike. In what appeared to be the part of same incident, Hamas claimed its members crossed the Gaza border fence near Khan Younis and engaged in clashes with Israeli forces. In a separate incident overnight, the military said two Palestinian terrorists were killed while attempting to infiltrate into Israel from the Gaza Strip. According to the IDF, a tank fired a shell at the two gunmen, near the southern community of Nahal Oz. On Friday, Israeli troops entered the Gaza Strip on “localized raids” to clear the area of potential terrorists and locate missing Israelis, the military said, in what is likely a precursor to a full-scale incursion in response to last weekend’s shock assault. Hagari said armored and infantry forces carried out searches and “thwarted anti-tank guided missile squads that intended to infiltrate into Israeli territory.” “The forces located findings that may help in the effort to locate the missing,” Hagari said. “We will continue to make every effort to find every detail about the missing and hostages,” he added. An estimated 150-200 people were taken hostage by Hamas during its murderous attack last Saturday. The IDF has so far notified the families of 120 hostages that their loved ones are being held in the Gaza Strip. In addition to the southern border, tensions remained high in the West Bank. The IDF said Saturday troops have arrested 280 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including 157 affiliated with Hamas, since the start of the war. On Friday alone, 25 Hamas members were arrested by the IDF, among them two senior members detained in Nablus, the military said. There have been several clashes between IDF forces and Palestinians in the West Bank in recent days, and at least 10 attempted terror attacks, according to the army. According to the Palestinian Authority health ministry, at least 54 West Bank Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since October 7. Tensions are also spiking on the northern border, as Israel has traded fire with Hezbollah and allied Palestinian factions in Lebanon in recent days. At least four Israeli soldiers, three Hezbollah terrorists, and two Palestinian terrorists have been killed in the exchanges.

The Israeli Defence Force took to social media platform X and announced that it has eliminated Ali Qadi who allegedly led the “inhumane, barbaric October 7 massacre of civilians” in Israel. The IDF also said that all the Hamas ‘terrorists’ will be eliminated just like their leader was. The IDF said it in the post. October 14 marks the 8th day of the war that Israel declared war against Hamas after it had attacked Israel on a major Jewish holiday on October 7, 2023. Hamas incursion into Israeli territory results in a death toll exceeding 700, with casualties continuing to climb throughout the four-day conflict. A complete blockade of the Gaza strip was enforced by Israel’s military on October 9, 2023, leading to the suspension of vital supplies such as food, water, and fuel. Israel garners backing for its self-defense stance from several nations globally, including the US, UK, Australia, France, Norway, and Austria, extending their support and sympathy. Encompassing Gaza City, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians reside, the directive for evacuation triggered extensive panic among civilians and aid workers. This came as they were already fleeing Israeli airstrikes and grappling with a complete blockade and a blackout across the entire territory. Over half of Gaza’s Palestinian population traces its lineage back to the refugees of the 1948 conflict surrounding the establishment of Israel, during which a significant number were either displaced or forced to flee what is currently Israel. The evacuation mandate, for many, resurfaced apprehensions of a potential subsequent expulsion. United Nations reports indicate that as of Thursday, Israeli airstrikes following the Hamas assault had displaced at least 423,000 individuals, representing nearly one-fifth of Gaza’s inhabitants.Read NextThis article was first uploaded on October fourteen, twenty twenty-three, at twenty-four minutes past four in the afternoon.
