The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet security agency conducted a targeted overnight strike in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, eliminating Hamas's Khan Younis brigade commander, Muhammad Abu Ismail, and other militants. The operation, detailed in a joint statement from the IDF and intelligence services, targeted individuals who were using the Nasser Hospital complex as a hideout and operational base.
According to Israeli security forces, Abu Ismail held a significant position within Hamas, overseeing terrorist cells in his sector and coordinating attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians. He was also reportedly responsible for holding a large number of Israeli hostages during the ongoing conflict.
Israeli authorities stated that the militants had transformed the Nasser Hospital grounds into a command center for preparing numerous attacks and attempting to rebuild the Khan Younis brigade, which has suffered heavy losses. The strike was deemed necessary to neutralize a direct security threat.
Before carrying out the operation, the military reportedly implemented measures to protect nearby civilians, including issuing advance warnings to the local population, using precision munitions, and employing aerial surveillance to minimize civilian risk.
