Wadiya was killed in an airstrike in northern Gaza on Tuesday while bicycling to work.

“A physical therapist by day and a jihadist saboteur by night,” posted the IDF’s Arabic spokesperson, Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee on X, formerly known as Twitter on Wednesday night.

Adraee said Wadiya had worked for Islamic Jihad for 15 years helping manufacture rockets, adding that he was the terror group’s “expert in the fields of electronics and chemistry.”
