Joint statement to the IDF and Shin Bet spokesmen:
The IDF and Shin Bet attacked the commander of the Khan Yunis Brigade of organization Hamas.
In a targeted attack during the night (Thursday), the IDF and the Shin Bet attacked Muhammad Abu Ismail who served as the commander of the Khan Yunis Brigade and other terrorists who were hiding in the "Nasser" hospital in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.
As part of his position, Muhammad Abu Ismail was responsible for managing the activities of the brigade's terrorists and directing them to the promotion and execution of terrorist plans against the IDF forces and the citizens of the State of Israel.
He was also responsible for the captivity of many hostages throughout the war.
The terrorists were attacked to remove the threat after they turned the compound at the 'Nasser' hospital into their headquarters and operated from there to promote dozens of terrorist plots against our forces and to restore the brigade's strength building that had suffered severe damage throughout the war.
