Hamas’ armed wing said on Sunday that a senior commander who helped plan and oversee the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel had been killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Gaza.

The Al-Qassam Brigades identified him as Samir Abu Younis, 53, commander of its Rafah brigade, and said he was killed on Saturday.

Israel’s military and the Shin Bet security agency had announced a joint strike targeting a senior member of Hamas’ military wing, without identifying him or confirming his death.

Medics said Abu Younis was killed and others were wounded in a strike targeting him in a street in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis.
