The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet confirmed on Thursday that they targeted and eliminated Muhammad Abu Ismail, identified as the commander of the Khan Yunis brigade, during a strike at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza.

According to the joint statement, Abu Ismail was responsible for managing the brigade's operations and directing terror attacks against Israeli forces and civilians. He was also reportedly in charge of holding numerous hostages throughout the ongoing conflict.

The IDF stated that the militants, including Abu Ismail, were attacked to neutralize a threat after they had turned the Nasser Hospital complex into a command center. From this location, they allegedly advanced numerous terror plots against Israeli forces and worked to rebuild the brigade's strength after suffering significant damage during the war.

The IDF also noted that prior warnings were issued to the civilian population before the strike. They further claimed that precision munitions and aerial surveillance were employed to minimize the risk of civilian casualties.
