The Israeli military has disclosed a strategy aimed at dismantling Hamas's command structure and creating chaos within the organization, following the recent elimination of the third commander of Hamas's Rafah brigade in approximately 18 months. A military source detailed the pace of assassinations and the message being sent to remaining leaders.

According to the military, Samir Abu Younes, the recently eliminated commander, directed militants in the brigade to advance and execute terror attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF forces. He also reportedly worked to rebuild the brigade's and Hamas's operational capabilities, which have been severely degraded during the ongoing conflict.

Southern Command security forces are deployed in the area and will continue to operate to remove any immediate threats, the military stated. The ongoing operations underscore the IDF's objective to disrupt Hamas's leadership and operational capacity.
