IDF Kills Hamas Battalion Commander in Northern Gaza Strike
- On Tuesday evening, the IDF and Shin Bet killed Nayal Abu Obeid, commander of Hamas' Rafah Brigade, in a drone strike in the southern Gaza Strip as part of an intensified campaign.
- The strike followed the recent elimination of other senior Hamas commanders: Ahmed Batash of the Jabaliya Battalion was killed earlier Tuesday, and Muhammad Yazouri of the Khan Younis Brigade was struck last Thursday in Al-Mawasi.
- According to the military, Abu Obeid directed attacks against Israeli forces and civilians after assuming command of the Rafah Brigade in May 2025 following Mohammed Shabana's death alongside Mohammed Sinwar.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a joint statement emphasizing that "no terrorist is immune" and vowing the military will remove threats and protect Israeli citizens.
- Separately, the campaign extends beyond Hamas to Islamic Jihad, whose rocket cell commander Mohsen Abu Hadaf was killed in Khan Younis over the weekend as operations continue across Gaza.
