Search for leader – Hamas headquarters stormed in southern Gaza

Date:

The Israeli army says it has stormed the headquarters of the Islamist Hamas in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip. The headquarters of the terrorist organization’s secret service was also located there.

Israel suspects that the leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Jihia Sinwar, is hiding in the underground tunnels under Khan Younis. The armed forces are currently intensifying the fight against Hamas, focusing mainly on the southern coastal area and the central Gaza Strip.

In the north of the closed coastal strip, the Israeli army says it is trying to exert full control over the area. The operation there is currently targeting the last remaining Hamas stronghold in Gaza city, the Tufah district, army spokesman Hagari explained. On Saturday, the army also ended a large-scale attack on Hezbollah militia targets in Lebanon, on Israel’s border with Lebanon. Three “terrorist cells were eliminated”. The army will continue to attack Hezbollah’s military positions in southern Lebanon.

Netanyahu stated that Israel must control its borders with Egypt. “The Philadelphia Corridor – or rather, the southern end of the Gaza Strip – must be in our hands.” The area must be closed. Any other regulation would not guarantee demilitarization.

Meanwhile, a hostage in the Gaza Strip was killed in an airstrike, according to a Palestinian terrorist group. The Israeli army had previously tried to free the Israeli soldier, the armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) said. The attempt had failed, it was said on Saturday.

In the worst massacre in Israel’s history, terrorists from Hamas and other extremist groups killed about 1,200 people and abducted about 240 others to the Gaza Strip on October 7. According to Israeli information, nearly 130 hostages are still being held there. The BBC reported a month ago that at least five Palestinian armed organizations took part in the terrorist attack on Israel.
