IDF Strikes Hamas Commander of Rafah Brigade in Gaza
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency confirmed Tuesday evening that they targeted a senior Hamas terrorist in southern Gaza, identified as the commander of the Rafah brigade. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant affirmed the strike in a joint statement, emphasizing that no terrorist is immune and Hamas will not remain in Gaza.
Sources in Gaza reported that the strike was successful and the commander was killed. This operation follows a series of recent actions against Hamas leadership, including the elimination of the Khan Younis brigade commander and other senior figures earlier in the week.
In their statement, Netanyahu and Gallant conveyed a clear message to Hamas leadership, stating, "Our message is clear: no terrorist is immune and Hamas will not be in Gaza. We strengthen the IDF and the Shin Bet, who are acting with determination to remove threats and protect the citizens of Israel."
