Israel kills Hamas chief who murdered dad with grenade in front of kids before stealing a Coke from the family’s fridge
AN EVIL Hamas chief who calmly helped himself to Coke from a family’s fridge after murdering a dad has been killed in a revenge strike by Israeli forces in Gaza.
Ahmed Wadiyya was among eight terrorists confirmed killed by an Israeli air strike on Gaza’s Al-Ahli hospital recently, 11 months after the October 7 outrage.
Wadiyya flew into southern Israel aboard a paraglider to command a company from the terror group’s Nukhba Force which unleashed carnage in southern Israel.
The monster blew up dad Gil Taasa, 46, in front of his two children with a grenade at their family home.
Gil died after throwing himself onto the grenade to save his children leaving them wounded and weeping and covered in his blood.
But they told later how Wadiyya calmly strolled into their home and helped himself to a cola from the fridge amid the scene of horror.
The other seven terrorists killed in the Gaza City strike were also members of the Daraj-Tuffah Battalion, according to the Israeli Defence Forces.
One was involved in supplying the bombs used by the terror group to breach the Gaza security barrier on October 7.
The terrorists were killed while hiding out near the hospital after their lair was identified by Israel’s Shin Bet intelligence service and targeted by an IDF missile.
Gil, a senior firefighter at Ashkelon fire station, was at home in the southern kibbutz village of Netiv Haasara with youngest sons, Koren, 12 and Shay, 8, when the attack began.
Both boys were sprayed with blood and shrapnel as their father gave his life to save them and Shay was blinded in one eye by flying metal.
Koren – who survived by fleeing to another house after the blast with his brother – said: “There were huge explosions and dad and I and Shay heard terrorists on the road behind us.
“He told us to be quiet and not talk.”
Gil grabbed his rifle and shot at the terrorists until he ran out of bullets before being killed when the terrorists tossed a grenade into their shelter.
Koren added: “There’s no way he wasn’t afraid but he decided to save us and he jumped on the grenade… there was an explosion.
“I saw smoke then suddenly we were covered in blood.”
Koren said the terrorists came to check that Gil was dead, then drank cola from the fridge and left the house.
The two wounded brothers ran next door to their mother, where they hid in their safe room for hours until they were evacuated.
Gil’s other son Or, 17, had gone fishing with pals and was also murdered by Hamas terrorists in a separate attack on October 7.
