IDF Targets Hamas Rafah Brigade Commander in Gaza Strike
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

The Israeli military and Shin Bet targeted the commander of Hamas's Rafah brigade, Nail Abu Abid, in an operation in southern Gaza. Abu Abid's predecessor, Muhammad Shabana, was killed in a strike in Khan Yunis in June 2025, along with the then-head of Hamas's military wing, Muhammad Sinwar.

The operation signifies a continued effort by Israel to dismantle Hamas's command structure in the Gaza Strip, particularly focusing on leadership in key areas like Rafah. The previous killing of Shabana and Sinwar highlights the ongoing campaign against Hamas's military leadership.
