Hamas confirmed the death of this key figure, who played a crucial role in planning the Oct 7, 2023 assault on Israel. The Al-Qassam Brigade announced the killing in a Telegram post, stating Younis was among their most significant commanders involved in the October 7 attack. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet also confirmed the strike, expressing sorrow over the loss. Hamas troops reported that Younis was killed in a targeted assassination operation in Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis. Two individuals were injured in this strike.
