  • Hamas investigation indicates Israel mistakenly killed Qassam commander Mohammed Al-Yazouri on September 10th.
  • The actual target of the Israeli strike was Qassam squad commander Huzaifa Muammar, who was also killed.
  • An Israeli intelligence informant, a Hamas group leader, confessed to the assassination after his arrest.
  • The informant provided intelligence leading to Qassam casualties and strikes on other targets.
  • This follows the exposure of another Hamas officer involved in an Israeli-backed plot against Nasser Medical Complex.

An investigation by Hamas's Internal Security Apparatus in Gaza has revealed that Israel mistakenly assassinated Mohammed Al-Yazouri, commander of the Khan Yunis Brigade of the Qassam Brigades, while attempting to kill another operative. Sources told i24NEWS that an Israeli intelligence informant, who was a Hamas group leader, confessed to the assassination and other operations after his arrest. He admitted that the actual target of the September 10th strike was Huzaifa Muammar, a Qassam squad commander, who was killed in the same raid.

The informant, recruited during the war, provided information that led to the deaths of other Qassam operatives and the bombing of targets. This revelation followed the exposure of another informant, an officer in the Internal Security Apparatus from Khan Yunis, who was involved in a plot for armed groups to attack Nasser Medical Complex with Israeli backing. Both informants provided sensitive security information about the locations of senior Hamas officials, prompting their immediate relocation to safe houses.

Earlier, Hamas's "Resistance Security" had uncovered an Israeli-backed plot by armed groups to sabotage Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis. This plan involved large groups from Rafah, Khan Yunis, and Deir al-Balah, with Israeli intelligence and air support. Several Israeli agents tasked with forming sleeper cells in areas near vital centers in Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah were arrested in preparation for this sabotage plot.
