Israeli forces killed Hamas operative Zaid Aql, accused of torturing hostages, in an October 29 airstrike.
Israeli forces killed Hamas operative Zaid Zaki Abd al-Hadi Aql in an airstrike on October 29, 2025, during operations targeting individuals linked to the captivity and abuse of six Israeli hostages seized in the October 7 attack.
Aql, accused of overseeing severe psychological and physical torture, including forcing hostages to choose who would be executed, was eliminated by the IDF and Shin Bet under Southern Command.
One freed hostage, Bar Kupershtein, described enduring extreme abuse, including starvation and beatings, with his mother noting he felt no pain due to emotional numbness.
The strike is part of ongoing Israeli efforts to dismantle Hamas leadership involved in hostage-taking.
