The IDF and ISA eliminated Anas Mahmoud Ahmed Hamdan, a Hamas Company Commander in Khan Yunis, in an aerial strike on Thursday. Hamdan played a central role in holding Israeli hostages in Gaza, participated in their transfer processes during release deals, and was responsible for documenting hostages during release ceremonies. He also served as a close aide to senior Hamas commanders including Mohammed Deif and Rafaa Salameh, and was responsible for propaganda activities of Hamas' Khan Yunis Brigade. Prior to the war, he was involved in the captivity of Avera Mengistu.
