Abu Ali Express reported that the funeral of Hamas commander Muhammad al-Yazuri took place, with the crowd chanting threats of repeating the October 7 attack and calling for revenge. The channel commented that the chants show why Israel must continue its campaign against Hamas.
Earlier today, the funeral of Muhammad al-Yazouri, the Hamas Khan Younis Brigade commander killed in an Israeli strike overnight, was held in the southern Gaza Strip. According to Abu Ali Express, a channel closely monitoring Palestinian groups, attendees chanted: "Jews, remember what Muhammad did to you at Khaybar. October 7 will return. Al-Qassam Brigades – revenge, revenge." The channel remarked that the chants demonstrate why Israel must continue its campaign against Hamas.
The IDF and Shin Bet confirmed at 10:35 Jerusalem this morning that a precision strike in the Khan Younis area Thursday night killed al-Yazouri, along with company commander Hudheifa Muammar and operative Muhammad Bahjat Rashi. The military said al-Yazouri had advanced dozens of terror attacks against troops and worked to rebuild the brigade's capabilities. He had replaced Rafa'a Salama, killed alongside Muhammad Deif in July 2024.
The funeral and chant reports come from Abu Ali Express, which The Zioneer has cited previously for developments on Palestinian factions. The channel's commentary framed the chants as evidence of ongoing threats, though the reports could not be independently verified.
No independent confirmation of the funeral or the specific chants was available at the time of reporting.
