The Israel Defense Forces last week killed Nasser Musa, a senior operative in Hamas’s Rafah Brigade who headed the terrorist group’s Military Control Department, in a strike near Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, the military announced on Friday.

Musa, killed on Aug. 9, was responsible for the operational readiness and training of the Rafah Brigade, which carried out attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians during the war.

He was a close associate of Rafah Brigade commander Mohammad Sabaneh , who was killed in May 2025. He also held multiple positions within the brigade, including in military intelligence and the observation network.

“Musa’s elimination further degrades the Rafah Brigade’s operational capabilities and Hamas terrorists’ abilities,” said the IDF.
