Israel Strikes Hamas Commander in Rafah, Vows Continued Action
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency have targeted the commander of Hamas's Rafah brigade, according to a joint statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz. This strike follows the elimination of the Khan Yunis brigade commander and other senior Hamas officials earlier in the week.
Netanyahu and Katz emphasized that the message is unequivocal: "No terrorist is immune, and Hamas will not remain in Gaza." They expressed support for the IDF and Shin Bet forces, stating their ongoing efforts to neutralize threats and protect Israeli citizens.
The operation underscores Israel's continued efforts to dismantle Hamas's military capabilities in the Gaza Strip, focusing on key leadership figures in its southern operations.
