The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have confirmed the elimination of Mahmoud Hamdan, also known as Tom, the commander of Hamas' Tel al-Sultan Battalion. Hamdan, who was responsible for guarding Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and overseeing the six hostages who were murdered in the area in August, was killed earlier today during an encounter with IDF troops. This comes after previous reports incorrectly stated that Hamdan had been killed several weeks ago. Hamdan was eliminated approximately 200 meters from the spot where Sinwar was killed.
