Jerusalem, 17 March, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) reported that it and Shin Bet (Israel’s anti-terror General Security Service) forces, under the direction of Naval Intelligence, attacked and killed Younis Muhammad Hussein Alian, commander of the northern Gaza Brigade of the Hamas terrorist organization’s naval formation, yesterday (Monday).

Alian was responsible for operating the brigade’s naval forces, advancing its force-building processes, and was in charge of training and coaching the unit’s fighters and managing the suitability of its weapons, explained the IDF.

Alian had recently worked to restore the brigade’s capabilities in the Gaza Strip, and planned to carry out terrorist attacks against IDF forces operating in the Gaza Strip and the State of Israel in the immediate future.

“The terrorist was targeted with precision after posing a real threat to IDF forces,” it said.
