On Tuesday, a string of strong explosions struck the largest refugee camp in Gaza, killing several people. According to the Israeli military, one of the Hamas commanders connected to the October 7 assaults was killed in the airstrikes that resulted in the explosions.
Five points about this significant story of Hamas are as follows:
- After today’s nine Israeli army deaths in Gaza, 326 Israeli soldiers have died since the October 7 onslaught. According to the Israeli military, two more troops were hurt.
- In the Gaza Strip, communications and the internet were shut down today. “To our good people in the beloved country, we are sorry to announce that internet and communications services have been completely cut off in Gaza,” the Palestine Telecommunications Company (Paltel) stated on X.
- Israel’s military branch, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, has pledged to convert Gaza into a “graveyard” for Israeli soldiers. Israel’s “inhumane targeting of a residential block” has drawn severe criticism from Egypt. Which also said that it will open the Rafah border crossing to allow injured Palestinians to receive medical care. Since the start of the crisis, Cairo has never before consented to allow people to pass at this location.
- International demands for a stop to the bloodshed and an escalating humanitarian situation in Gaza coincided with the airstrikes. Only hours before the assault, the health ministry had recorded 8,525 deaths, including 2,187 women and 3,542 children.
- Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vehemently rejected any possibility for a truce in spite of the growing death toll, stating that such requests amounted to “a call for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorism, to surrender to barbarism”.
