The Israeli Air Force conducted a nighttime operation targeting the commander of Hamas's Khan Younis brigade, Mohammed Abu Ismail, at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. The strike, which involved two fighter jets and precise timing, was the culmination of weeks of preparation. Relatively small bombs were used to hit the specific room where the militants were located, though confirmation of Abu Ismail's death is still pending.
According to the IDF, Hamas had transformed parts of the hospital complex into an operational headquarters. This facility was allegedly used to advance numerous terror plots against Israeli forces and to rebuild the organization's strength in the Gaza Strip. The IDF claims that weapons were stored at the site, command and control rooms were operated, and internal security personnel conducted interrogations and torture.
The military stated that hospital facilities were also used as observation posts and hiding places by militants. An Israeli military source emphasized that Hamas continues to attempt attacks against Israel, and this operation aligns with the post-October 7th security doctrine of neutralizing threats early in their planning stages.
This operation is part of a series of attempts to eliminate Hamas leadership since the start of the ceasefire. It marks the fourth time the IDF has targeted a brigade commander in the organization during this period, with the Khan Younis commander being targeted for the second time. Commanders of the Rafah and northern Gaza brigades have also been targeted.
The IDF estimates that between 900 and 1,000 militants have been killed since the ceasefire began, with approximately 180 killed in the last two months alone. The military stressed that these strikes are carried out with high precision and efforts to minimize collateral damage.
Palestinian journalists published photos of a bomb they claim did not detonate during the attack, identified as an American GBU-39/B. Palestinian reports indicate six people were killed and about 20 injured, including medical staff and patients.
