IDF Names Hamas Company Commander and Weapons Operative Killed in Gaza

The IDF said it killed Rafat Abu Zamer, a company commander in Hamas’s military-wing operations headquarters, in the Khan Younis area on September 14. It said Abu Zamer led military-wing training before the October 7 massacre and recently continued training operatives and developing Hamas’s fighting capabilities. In a separate Gaza City strike, the military said it killed Muhammad Khader Fahmi Ajur, a Hamas operative involved in weapons production. The IDF said both men recently advanced attacks against its troops and Israeli civilians and worked to rebuild Hamas capabilities in systematic violation of the ceasefire, and that forces used precise munitions and aerial surveillance to reduce civilian harm.
