Command and control center located in the 'Nasser' hospital in Khan Yunis

A short while ago, the IDF precisely struck significant Hamas terrorists who were operating from within a command and control center located in the 'Nasser' hospital in Khan Yunis. The compound was used by the terrorists to plan and execute terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops.

The successor of the head of the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip and head of Hamas' finances and institutions, Ismail Barhoum, who was eliminated in a precise strike in the past March, operated from within the ‘Nasser’ hospital.

Senior Hamas officials continue to use the hospital for terrorist activity, through cynical and brutal use of the civilian population in the hospital and its surroundings.

Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence.

The IDF and ISA will continue to operate against the Hamas terrorist organization in order to protect the civilians of the State of Israel.
