Three Israeli drone strikes across the Gaza Strip today killed four people and wounded 15, according to Palestinian sources. The evening strike in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis killed Mahmoud al-Barass, director of the Rafah crossing in the Hamas police force (equivalent rank of deputy commander).
This evening's strike in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis eliminated Mahmoud al-Barass, identified by Palestinian sources as the director of the Rafah crossing in the Hamas police force, holding a rank equivalent to deputy commander. Two additional drone strikes elsewhere in the Strip brought the day's total to four killed and 15 wounded, according to the same sources.
As The Zioneer reported at 21:17, an earlier bulletin confirmed the strike on al-Barass and three others in the same Khan Younis attack. Today's operations follow a pattern of targeted strikes on Hamas officials in southern Gaza; a June 7 strike in the same Mawasi area killed at least five people, though that event was not linked to a specific Hamas figure. Casualty figures remain sourced to Palestinian reports and have not been independently verified by Israeli military spokespeople.
