Among those killed were Hakham Issa, head of Hamas’ Combat Support Staff; Mohammed al-Sheikh, a commander in the Khan Yunis Brigade’s Operations Department; Issa Abbas, a company commander in the Zeitoun Battalion; and Mohammed Jarasha, a company commander in the Sabra Battalion.
As part of ongoing ground operations, the 98th Division resumed its offensive this week alongside the 162nd Division, targeting Hamas terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip.
The 143rd Division continued its operations in the Rafah area, destroying dozens of terror infrastructure sites and weapons, while simultaneously protecting communities in the western Negev.
Over the past 24 hours, the Air Force struck around 100 terror targets across the Gaza Strip to support ground forces. Among the targets hit were launchers, military buildings, weapons warehouses, and other terror-related sites.
Since ground operations resumed in March, the Israeli Air Force has struck more than 7,500 terrorist infrastructure sites, including weapons storage facilities, rocket launchers, underground tunnels, and combatants from multiple terror groups.
