IDF Eliminates Senior Hamas Commander in Gaza Strike
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet announced on the evening of September 15th the elimination of a high-ranking Hamas operative in southern Gaza. Preliminary reports indicate the target was Nael Abu-Abaid, identified as the commander of Hamas's Rafah brigade. Palestinian sources reported that an Israeli airstrike in the Khan Yunis area resulted in two fatalities and 14 injuries.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant issued a joint statement asserting that "no terrorist can feel safe, and Hamas will not exist in the Gaza Strip." A security source confirmed to N12 News that Nael Abu-Abaid was indeed the intended target and is believed to have been eliminated.
