Senior Hamas Commander Killed in Israeli Airstrike
JERUSALEM: In a significant development, the Israeli army announced the demise of Murad Abu Murad, a senior Hamas commander, in an airstrike. The Israeli authorities claim that Abu Murad was killed during an attack on the Gaza headquarters responsible for overseeing Hamas operations. However, there has been no official response from the Hamas leadership regarding this incident.
Instructions to Hamas for Attack on Israel
A key figure in Hamas, Abu Murad had recently provided strategic instructions for the recent attack on Israel. This assault, carried out on October 7, resulted in the loss of numerous innocent lives. The news of Abu Murad’s demise coincided with the Israeli Prime Minister’s response to the bombing incidents in Gaza.
Evacuation Ultimatum Issued by Israel
Furthermore, Israel has issued an ultimatum to the residents of northern Gaza and Gaza City, demanding that they evacuate within twenty-four hours before an impending military offensive. Over 1.1 million people have been given the order to relocate beyond a forty-kilometer radius. This action was necessitated by Egypt’s closure of its border, fearing a potential influx of refugees.
Risk of Hamas Hideouts in Residential Areas
Israel asserts that Hamas militants are strategically positioned in underground hideouts and residences within residential zones. It is important to note that Israel has no intention of annexing Gaza as a part of its territory. Once Hamas is effectively neutralized, Israel has expressed its willingness to withdraw from the area, clarifying its stance.
Escalation of Violence in the Israeli-Gaza Conflict
The Israeli Defense Forces retaliated with airstrikes in Gaza after Hamas launched a surprise attack upon infiltrating Israeli territory last Saturday. The death toll in Gaza has now soared to 1,500 casualties, while Israel has suffered the loss of 1,300 individuals due to gunfire and rocket attacks. Just yesterday, the Israeli Defense Forces successfully staged a rescue operation at the Sufa outpost, liberating approximately 250 hostages and neutralizing sixty Hamas terrorists. In a separate incident, Ash Kelon in Israel experienced a rocket attack.
JERUSALEM: The Israeli army announced that a senior Hamas commander, Murad Abu Murad, had been killed in an airstrike. Israel claims Abu Murad was killed in an airstrike on the headquarters in Gaza that controlled Hamas operations. But there was no response from Hamas in this regard.
Abu Murad gave all the necessary instructions to Hamas for the attack on Israel in the last few days. A number of people were killed in the Hamas attack in Israel on October 7. The news that the commander of Hamas had been killed came after the Prime Minister of Israel responded to the bombing in Gaza.
At the same time, Israel gave an ultimatum to the people of northern Gaza and Gaza City to leave within twenty-four hours before the army attack. More than 11 lakh people demanded to leave within 24 hours. The order is to move beyond forty kilometers. Egypt had closed its border due to fears of an influx of refugees.
Israel reports that Hamas terrorists are hiding in underground chambers and houses in residential areas. There is no intention to make Gaza part of Israel. However, once Hamas is eliminated for good, it will withdraw. This is Israel’s position.
Israel declared war and began airstrikes in Gaza when Hamas launched a surprise attack upon entering the country last Saturday. So far 1500 people have been killed in Gaza. In Israel, 1300 people were killed by gunfire and rocket attacks. Yesterday, the Israel Defense Forces stormed the Sufa outpost and freed around 250 hostages. Sixty Hamas terrorists are killed. There was a rocket attack on Ash Kelon in Israel.
