In the last hours, and while the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirm the assassination of two senior Hamas leaders– the military group assured that about 50 hostages who were held in the Gaza Strip killed in Israeli airstrikes that took place this Thursday morning, within the framework of the conflict in the middle east.
These airstrikes are part of the 250 airstrikes in Gaza that occurred in the last 24 hours, directed against tunnels, rocket launchers and militia infrastructure.
The alleged victims were communicated by the Palestinian Islamist movement through Telegramwhere they stated that “the Qassam brigades estimate that the number of Israeli hostages “Those who died in the Gaza Strip as a result of the Zionist bombings and massacres reached nearly 50.”
Israel’s response
“IDF fighter jets carried out a precise air attack based on the intelligence of the Army and the security authorities who managed eliminate the commander of the Rocket Array in Khan Younis of Hamas, Hassan Al-Abdullah“, reported the official X account (formerly Twitter) of the Israeli forces.
Minutes later, Israel added in another publication in which they assured that “Shadi Baruddeputy director of the Hamas Intelligence Directorate, has been eliminated by IDF airstrike”. As detailed, the Hamas official had participated in the planning of the October 7 massacre and other deadly attacks carried out against Israelis.
For its part, the Israeli army promised that “will continue to attack and eliminate to the Hamas leaders and agents responsible for the attacks.”
Earlier, Israel reported that it conducted a “selective operation” with tanks and infantry at night in the Gaza Strip as training for a ground raid in terrorist-controlled Palestinian territory, killing fighters and destroying infantry and key positions.
The health emergency in Gaza reaches its limit
The United Nations Organization (UN) warned that between this Wednesday night and Thursday morning they must stop its operations in Gaza due to lack of fuel, while the levels of devastation in hospitals reach a unprecedented pace.
At the same time, the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, condemned Hamas attacks and denounced the violations of international humanitarian law in front of the organization’s Security Council, which earned him the resignation request from the government of Israel.
Meanwhile, hospitals in Gaza reach their limit of supplies, prompting them to begin paralyze all servicesexcept emergency ones.
This situation occurs because The Israeli Army prevents new supplies from arriving of fuel and other necessary things to Gaza. At the same time, they allow very few trucks with help enter through the Rafah crossing, between the Strip and Egypt. So far, only eight vehicles with food, water and medicine were able to enter, while the organizations assure that they need at least 100 per day.
