Israeli military says it struck senior commander in Hamas' military wing
- The Israel Defense Forces killed Samir Mahmoud Abu Younis, commander of Hamas' Rafah Brigade, in a strike in southern Gaza overnight Saturday, Hamas acknowledged.
- Abu Younis' death follows the killing of Nael Abu Obeid in September and Mohammad Sabaneh in May 2025, marking the second time in two months Israel has killed a senior Hamas commander.
- Days earlier, an IDF strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis targeted Khan Younis Brigade commander Muhammad Abu Ismail, killing at least six people and injuring 40 others, including Dr. Rizk Abu Shaira and a 13-year-old boy.
- Foreign ministers from Australia, Canada, Italy, and the United Kingdom urged Israel to allow 'immediate, rapid and unimpeded humanitarian access' for 150,000 tents and supplies, though Israel claims more than 91,000 tents have entered.
- Nearly two million Palestinians remain displaced while the Board of Peace remains sidelined, unable to advance the Gaza ceasefire plan; more than 1,600 people have been killed by strikes since the ceasefire began one year ago.
