The IDF reported the elimination of several Hamas commanders in the Gaza Strip
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) struck the command and headquarters of the Palestinian radical Palestinian movement Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The army's press service said on December 4.
"Air Force fighter jets earlier today targeted and attacked high-ranking Hamas members in the Khan Younis area under the intelligence guidance of Iman, Shin Bet and the Southern Command," the Telegram channel said.
It is specified that the strike was carried out using high-precision weapons. It was preceded by reconnaissance activities to minimize civilian casualties.
Earlier, on November 28, advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Dmitry Gendelman told Izvestia that Israel has not changed its position on Hamas after the truce in Lebanon.
Prior to that, on November 27, it was reported that the IDF launched airstrikes on Beirut minutes after US President Joe Biden announced a ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah. Shortly before that, the U.S. president said that the indefinite ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel would begin on November 27.
On the same day, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called the ceasefire with Lebanon a mistake. According to him, by concluding this agreement, Israel is walking on thin ice, as the Lebanese army does not have the authority and ability to defeat the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah.
The escalation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah came after the events of Sept. 17 and 18, when thousands of people, including the movement's cadres, were injured when pagers and other communication devices exploded in Lebanon. The country blamed Tel Aviv for what happened. Since then, Israel has continued to eliminate the leadership of the Shiite movement and strike Lebanese territory.
The situation in the Middle East escalated on the morning of October 7, 2023, when the Palestinian radical movement Hamas subjected the territory of Israel to a massive rocket attack from the Gaza Strip. On the same day, Israel began retaliatory strikes.
