Read Time:2 Minute, 23 Second
International alarm has increased amid growing shock about the scale of human suffering inside the besieged Palestinian territory.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said its fighter jets struck three senior Hamas operatives who played a “significant role” in October 7 mass breach that killed more than 1,400 people – mostly civilians.
Commander of the Darj Tafah battalion of Hamas, Rafat Abbas and the commander of combat and administrative assistance, Tarek Maruf, have been killed using fighter jets, it said adding that Rafat Abbas’ deputy, Ebrahim Jedeva, was also killed. “The battalion is considered to be the most significant brigade of the Hamas,” IDF said.
Israel army yesterday said it had sent tanks, troops and armoured bulldozers into the enclave in a “targeted raid” on Wednesday night that destroyed multiple sites before withdrawing.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — amid the growing calls to temper the ferocious bombing campaign — said Israel had been “raining down hellfire on Hamas” and killing “thousands of terrorists”. He said his war cabinet and the military would determine the timing of a “ground offensive” with the goal to “eliminate Hamas” and “bring our captives home”.
Hamas’ armed wing said Israeli strikes have killed almost 50 of the 222 hostages its operatives seized during the attacks. Hamas has released four hostages so far. The Palestinian group released two elderly Isreli women on Monday citing “compelling humanitarian” reasons, after mediation by Qatar and Egypt. Their release comes days after a US mother and daughter were freed.
