The IDF and Shin Bet in a joint statement officially confirm that Rafa’a Salameh, the commander of Hamas's Khan Younis Brigade, was killed in yesterday's strike in the southern Gaza Strip. The IDF says Salameh was "one of the closest associates" of Muhammad Deif, the chief of the terror group's military wing, and "was one of the masterminds of the October 7 massacre." His killing is a "significant blow to the military capabilities of Hamas," the IDF says.
