Reportedly, he was one of the leaders of the attacks against Israel and the IDF troops operating in central Gaza, employing explosive drones and UAVs to target troops.
This comes a day after Hamas said it had information that Israel intended to carry out a hostage rescue operation similar to one conducted in Gaza’s Nuseirat camp in June and threatened to “neutralise” the captives if any such action took place, according to news agency Reuters.
The Israeli airstrikes have killed over 44,400 Palestinians, with nearly 90 per cent of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents displaced, the territory’s health ministry informed.
