Rare photographs of Rafi' Muhammad Salama, commander of the Khan Yunis battalion in Hamas's armed wing, are being published on the second anniversary of his elimination, according to reports.
Rare photos of Rafi' Muhammad Salama, the commander of Hamas's Khan Yunis battalion, are being circulated today on the second anniversary of his elimination. Salama was eliminated in an Israeli strike approximately two years ago. The release follows a pattern of similar publications by Hamas in recent weeks, as The Zioneer has reported: earlier today, Hamas released a new photo of Muhammad Deif on the second anniversary of his elimination, and on June 18, it published a photo of Muhammad Ra'fat Salama alongside Yahya Sinwar. The images serve as a propaganda tool for the group, highlighting its fallen commanders.
