🎯 HAMAS YIBNA BATTALION COMMANDER ELIMINATED: Yesterday, the IDF and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) struck and eliminated Mohammad Fathi Abd al-Hay Abu Fakher, commander of Hamas' Yibna Battalion in the Rafah Brigade.
In recent weeks, Abu Fakher had been recruiting new terrorists, leading their training, and attempting to restore the battalion's capabilities to attack IDF troops.
A veteran Hamas commander, Abu Fakher also served as a senior official in Hamas' military wing Supply Department. For approximately 20 years, he was a central figure in the terrorist organization's weapons smuggling network, directing the transfer of weapons into the Gaza Strip and overseeing the supply of numerous capabilities required to sustain Hamas' military activities.
🎯 NUKHBA PLATOON COMMANDER ELIMINATED: Yesterday, the IDF struck in the central Gaza Strip and eliminated Ali Qaid Mohammed Stitan, a Nukhba platoon commander in the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization.
The IDF said Stitan infiltrated Israel during the October 7 massacre. Throughout the war, including in recent days, he attempted to advance terrorist attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians. Assessed to pose an ongoing threat, he was eliminated in a precise aerial strike.
🎗️ ISLAMIC JIHAD TERRORIST INVOLVED IN OCTOBER 7 AND HOSTAGE CAPTIVITY ELIMINATED: Two days ago, the IDF and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) struck in southern Gaza and eliminated Talal Jaber Mohammad Abd al-Aal.
According to the IDF, Abd al-Aal commanded an Islamic Jihad terrorist cell that infiltrated Israel during the October 7 massacre. Throughout the war, he also participated in holding hostages who were held by the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization in the southern Gaza Strip.
🇮🇱 IDF RESPONDS TO STATE COMPTROLLER'S OCTOBER 7 REPORT: The IDF said treating and evacuating wounded soldiers remains one of its highest moral obligations while acknowledging it failed in its primary mission to defend the western Negev communities on October 7.
The military said forces faced an unprecedented number of casualties while simultaneously fighting Hamas terrorists, restoring operational control, and rescuing civilians. Medical teams provided life-saving treatment under fire, established casualty collection points, and deployed dedicated ground and air evacuation assets as the situation evolved.
The IDF rejected criticism that the Home Front Command was responsible for directing casualties to hospitals, stating that responsibility lies with the Ministry of Health and the National Hospitalization Authority. It added that no request for Home Front Command assistance was made that day.
The military said lessons from October 7 have already led to operational improvements, including integrating Magen David Adom's command-and-control systems into IDF medical command centers to improve coordination, situational awareness, and future casualty management.
Regarding rehabilitation, the IDF said medical records are already accessible to authorized personnel in the Ministry of Defense Rehabilitation Department but acknowledged that military physicians cannot directly access rehabilitation treatment records. The IDF supports establishing a shared medical interface to improve continuity of care for wounded soldiers.
The IDF concluded by expressing appreciation for the medical teams and soldiers who risked their lives to save thousands of civilians and troops on October 7, while extending its support to the wounded and their families during their recovery.
