  • IDF and Shin Bet targeted Hamas commander Khaled Abu Anza at Nasser Hospital.
  • Abu Anza commanded Hamas's Khan Yunis brigade, replacing Muhammad Yazouri.
  • The strike aimed at a senior terrorist involved in planning attacks against Israelis.
  • The military claims Hamas used the hospital complex for military purposes.
  • Confirmation of Abu Anza's death is pending; results are under review.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency conducted a strike overnight targeting Khaled Abu Anza, also known as Abu Osama, the commander of Hamas's Khan Yunis brigade. The strike occurred within the Nasser Hospital complex in Gaza. Abu Anza, a senior figure in Hamas's military wing in the region, assumed command after his predecessor, Muhammad Yazouri, was eliminated by Israel in September. His appointment came as Hamas sought to rebuild its command structure in the southern Gaza Strip following the assassinations of several senior commanders. According to a joint statement from the IDF and Shin Bet, the strike was aimed at a senior terrorist and other operatives who were allegedly hiding within the hospital compound. The military stated that the target was involved in advancing terror plots against Israeli civilians and IDF forces. The statement further alleged that Hamas had transformed the hospital complex into a military infrastructure, using it for storing weapons, operating command and control rooms, and for observation posts and shelters for terrorists. The final confirmation of Abu Anza's elimination is still pending, and the results of the strike are under review. If confirmed, this would represent another blow to Hamas's command chain in Khan Yunis, following the September assassination of his predecessor.
