The strike in southern Gaza's Khan Younis on Monday killed Ismail Ibrahim Darwish Qandil, a member of Hamas's elite Nukhba Force, according to the IDF. The IDF says Qandil invaded Israel on October 7 and took part in killing Steinberg near the border community of Kerem Shalom. Recently, Qandil had been advancing attacks on troops and civilians, as well as attempting to restore Hamas capabilities, "in systematic violation of the ceasefire," the military says, adding that he was killed "to remove the threat he posed."
