The Israeli military said on Sunday that it had carried out a targeted strike against a senior commander in Hamas's military wing. Hamas sources told Reuters that the strike killed senior Hamas commander Samir Abu Yunis in Khan Younis.

Medical personnel said Abu Yunis was killed and several other people were injured in an airstrike targeting a street in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

The October 2025 ceasefire brought an end to major fighting but did not stop Israeli attacks or result in the disarmament of Hamas, Reuters reports.
Gaza health authorities say that at least 1,600 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire came into effect. Five Israeli soldiers have also been killed during the same period.
As Ukrinform previously reported, Mossad Director Roman Gofman arrived in Washington for talks with senior officials in the US presidential administration concerning Iran.
