IDF's attempt to eliminate Bibas family kidnapper fails due to collateral damage concerns...

The IDF attempted to kill a terrorist who participated in the kidnapping of Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7. The strike used downsized munitions due to collateral damage concerns and wounded the terrorist without killing him.

Approval for the targeted strike included review of potential civilian harm that prompted the reduction in munitions size.
