GAZA (PALESTINE) (ITALPRESS) – The IDF and the Israeli Shin Bet announce that two more senior Hamas officials were killed in airstrikes in the Gaza Strip the day before. Among the dead was Yasser Mohammed Harb Musa, a member of the Hamas political bureau who headed the defense portfolio and development ministry. “As part of his role, Musa managed the advancement and leadership of terrorist attacks against the State of Israel,” the IDF and Shin Bet say, adding that he was considered close to slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
The second Hamas official the IDF claims to have killed is Mohammed Jamasi, the head of the terror group’s so-called emergency committee. “Over the years, Jamasi held key positions in the movement’s political bureau and leadership and, as part of his role in the war, coordinated a significant portion of the Hamas regime’s governmental activity in the Gaza Strip, including leading terrorist attacks against the State of Israel,” the IDF notes.
The Israeli IDF also says that in one of its night airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, it targeted the main command center of Hamas’ Daraj-Tuffah Battalion, located in Gaza City. The command center had been used by Hamas to plan numerous attacks against Israel and troops, the Israeli military says.
Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) tanks are finally moving along Gaza’s Netzarim corridor, with the movement of Palestinian vehicles northward being halted. Gaza media report that IDF tanks have begun advancing along the Netzarim corridor and that the movement of vehicles northward across the Strip’s Salah al-Din road has stopped. There is no immediate comment from the Idf. This comes as foreign inspection teams tasked with checking vehicles moving north under the cease-fire agreement, which have entered from Egypt every day since the truce began, have been unable to enter Gaza since Israel resumed its offensive yesterday.
