Israel announced on Wednesday that it had killed a top military commander of Hamas during its recent airstrike on the Gaza Strip. The commander, Bassem Issa, was reportedly in charge of Gaza City’s brigade and was considered a key figure in Hamas’s military operations.
At the same time, Hamas’s political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, attended a funeral in Iran for the country’s top nuclear scientist who was assassinated last year. Haniyeh expressed condolences and mourned the loss of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, calling him a martyr for the Palestinian cause.
The killing of Issa marked a significant blow to Hamas, as he was responsible for coordinating attacks against Israel and was known for his strategic planning skills. Israel has targeted several Hamas leaders in recent days as part of its ongoing conflict with the militant group.
The airstrike that killed Issa was just one of many that have been carried out in recent weeks, with both sides exchanging fire and rockets. The violence has escalated tensions in the region and raised concerns about a potential full-scale war breaking out.
In response to the killing of Issa, Hamas has vowed to retaliate and continue its resistance against Israel. The group has called for unity among Palestinians and support from the international community to end Israel’s aggression.
The situation remains volatile, with both sides showing no signs of backing down. The international community has called for a ceasefire and peaceful resolution to the conflict, but the situation on the ground remains uncertain.
