The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet estimate that the commander of Hamas's Khan Younis brigade was eliminated overnight in an airstrike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza. The strike, which occurred between Wednesday and Thursday, also resulted in the deaths of six people and injured 20 others, including a surgeon, according to the New York Times. The IDF and Shin Bet stated that measures were taken before and during the attack to minimize civilian casualties, including the use of precision munitions and aerial surveillance.
According to the announcement, the militants, eliminated from the air, were advancing terror plans against Israeli civilians and IDF forces from within the hospital. Hamas had established itself in the complex, turning it into a command center for military and terror operations against Israel. The IDF reported that this activity, which included storing weapons, conducting interrogations and torture, operating command and control rooms, and using hospital facilities as observation posts and shelters for terrorists, constitutes a blatant violation of international law and cynical exploitation of civilian infrastructure.
Approximately two months ago, the newspaper "Sharq al-Awsat" reported on a strike in the city that killed the previous commander of Khan Younis, Muhammad al-Yazouri.
