Israel targets Resistance leader in Khan Yunis
Israel and the Shin Bet announced the death of the senior leader of the Popular Resistance Committees, Ramadan Abu Shuhada (63 years old), in an airstrike on Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip on Wednesday, October 21, 2026. The Israeli statement clarified that Abu Shuhada was responsible for leading the Committees in Khan Younis and was accountable for planning attacks against Israeli forces, in addition to participating in efforts to rebuild Hamas's military capabilities, with the aim of removing security threats. On its side, the Resistance Committees confirmed his death and regarded him as a member of their central leadership and one of their founders, noting that he continued to defend Palestinian rights despite being targeted. This Israeli escalation comes in the context of ongoing field tensions in the Gaza Strip and disagreements over a ceasefire, with differing accounts regarding his organizational position and the reasons for his targeting.
