The IDF killed Muhammad al-Namrouti, identified as the commander of the Hamas military wing's northern Khan Younis battalion, and Hussam al-Jabari. No further details on the specific role of al-Jabari or whether civilians were in the vicinity were immediately available from the reports. The strike follows a series of targeted killings in the Khan Younis area, as previously reported by The Zioneer, including a June 9 strike that killed a commander of the Hamas naval police, and a June 7 strike that killed four Islamic Jihad commanders in Gaza City.
