Hamas confirms Rafah commander's death

An Israeli airstrike in the Mawasi area of Khan Younis killed Samir Abu Younis. Hamas confirmed his death and identified him as commander of the Rafah Brigade in the Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s armed wing; Arab News and Asharq Al-Awsat reported his death and role. In separate context, a 14 November joint foreign ministers’ statement that included Saudi Arabia strongly condemned an Israeli airstrike on Nasser Medical Complex and continuing Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians, including tents. The Saudi Press Agency published the statement, which said these attacks undermine the Gaza ceasefire and efforts to restore security and stability. The statement addressed the Nasser Medical Complex strike and continuing attacks, not the airstrike that killed Abu Younis.
