Following a review of intelligence, the IDF and Shin Bet say that Nael Abu Obeid "was involved in the abduction and holding of IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians for years and during the war." In 2014, Abu Obeid was the deputy commander of the Rafah Brigade, during that time he took part in holding the body of Goldin, an officer with the Givati Brigade, whose body was only returned last year. During the current war, the military says, Abu Obeid held several hostages, including tank soldier Sgt. 1st Class Nimrod Cohen, in a major tunnel system under Rafah.
Der Kommandeur der Rafah-Brigade der Hamas, der vergangene Woche bei einem israelischen Luftangriff getötet wurde, war nach Angaben des Militärs während des Krieges an der Festhaltung von Geiseln beteiligt und hatte bereits in den Jahren zuvor den Leichnam von Leutnant Hadar Goldin festgehalten. Nach einer Auswertung von Geheimdienstinformationen erklären die IDF und der Schin Bet, Nael Abu Obeid sei „seit Jahren und während des Krieges an der Entführung und Festhaltung von IDF-Soldaten und israelischen Zivilisten beteiligt“ gewesen. Im Jahr 2014 war Abu Obeid stellvertretender Kommandeur der Rafah-Brigade. Damals war er daran beteiligt, den Leichnam Goldins festzuhalten, eines Offiziers der Givati-Brigade, dessen Leichnam erst im vergangenen Jahr zurückgebracht wurde. Während des aktuellen Krieges hielt Abu Obeid nach Angaben des Militärs mehrere Geiseln in einem großen Tunnelsystem unter Rafah fest, darunter den Panzerbesatzungssoldaten Stabsfeldwebel Nimrod Cohen.
