Israeli military says it struck senior commander in Hamas’ military wing

L’esercito israeliano afferma di aver colpito un alto comandante dell’ala militare di Hamas


Nov 15 (Reuters) - The Israeli military said on Sunday it had struck a senior commander in Hamas’ military wing, and Hamas sources told Reuters the strike killed senior armed Hamas commander Samir Abu Younis in Khan Younis.

Abu Younis was commander of the Rafah brigade in Hamas’ armed wing, the sources said.

Medics said Abu Younis was killed and others were wounded in an airstrike that targeted him in a street in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

An October ​2025 ceasefire halted major fighting but has not stopped Israeli attacks or secured Hamas’ disarmament.

Gaza health authorities say at least 1,600 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire went into effect. Five Israeli soldiers have been killed ​during the same period.
