The Israeli military said on Friday it killed the head of Hamas’ military intelligence in southern Gaza on Thursday.

“Tabash held various senior positions in Hamas, including a battalion commander in the Khan Yunis Brigade. Tabash was also responsible for formulating Hamas’ combat strategy on the ground, including coordinating the intelligence of Hamas’ military wing in southern Gaza and leading their activities in the area,” the IDF said in a statement on X.
