The commander of Hamas’s Tel Sultan Battalion in the terror group’s Rafah Brigade was killed in an Israeli drone strike several weeks ago.
Mahmoud Hamdan was killed alongside three company commanders in the Tel Sultan Battalion, according to the IDF.
The military says that additional strikes killed several more top commanders in the battalion, along with dozens of operatives.
The IDF says Hamdan took a “significant part” in planning the October 7 onslaught, and was involved in other attacks amid the ongoing war.
