IDF Kills Senior Resistance Committee Commander Behind 2018 Khan Yunis Bomb Ambush

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) eliminated Wahid Abu Salem, a senior commander in the Resistance Committees, in a drone strike in central Khan Yunis today. Abu Salem was one of the key planners of the 2018 bomb-laden flag ambush on the Gaza border fence near Khan Yunis, an attack that injured an IDF soldier. This targeted killing closes an eight-year chapter since the original ambush incident.
