Israel said Sunday it had killed a senior Hamas commander in an overnight airstrike in southern Gaza, just two months after his predecessor was killed. The Israel Defense Forces identified the commander as Samir Mahmoud Hassan Abu Younis, who led Hamas’ Rafah Brigade and reportedly had a leading role in planning the Oct. 7 2023 massacre in Israel. “Abu Younis was appointed commander of the brigade approximately 2 months ago, following the elimination of his predecessor,” the IDF said in a statement posted on X on Sunday. According to the Israeli military, Abu Younis previously served as deputy commander of the brigade and led its Tel al-Sultan Battalion.
