The IDF confirms killing the commander of Hamas’s Khan Younis Brigade in an airstrike in the southern Gaza Strip last night.

In a statement, the military and Shin Bet say that Khan Younis Brigade commander Muhammad Abdul Salam al-Yazouri was involved in advancing dozens of attacks on troops, as well as restoring Hamas’s capabilities.

The same strike in Khan Younis also killed Hudhaifa Muammar, a company commander, and Muhammad Bahjat Radi, another Hamas operative, according to the IDF.
