The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released new information Thursday regarding a strike the previous night on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, during which the Hamas commander of the Khan Younis brigade was eliminated. According to the IDF, warnings were previously conveyed to Hamas through mediators, urging them to cease using hospitals for military purposes, but these warnings were ignored.
The intelligence preceding the strike indicated that two internal rooms on one of the hospital's floors were being used as a Hamas military headquarters. Adjacent to these rooms were other hospital sections occupied by innocent patients. The operation, which had been planned for weeks, required the Air Force to maintain a prolonged state of readiness and lasted less than an hour.
The Peace Council for Gaza expressed sorrow over the deaths of uninvolved civilians and, according to them, condemned Hamas for using the hospital for military needs. The council also called on Hamas and Israel to implement Trump's peace plan and its commitments, including protecting civilians, maintaining a ceasefire, and advancing the demilitarization of the Strip.
This strike marks the fourth elimination of a Hamas brigade commander in Gaza over the past six months. The IDF identifies brigade commanders as primary targets, especially in the absence of a commander for Hamas's overall military wing.
