Israel bombed the residence of the head of the terrorist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced this Sunday that they have attacked the residence of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in the Gaza Strip, as well as that of his brother, Mohamed Sinwar, senior manager of logistics operations and labor for the organization in the Palestinian enclave.

The local leader of Hamas, sources of the newspaper point out ‘Haaretz‘, was not at his residence – in the Gaza Strip town of Khan Younis – at the time of the attack, one of several that Israel has carried out against the terrorist groups responsible for the organization in Gaza in recent hours.

In this sense, Israel has confirmed bombings against the residences of the organization’s ‘number two’ in Gaza and Sinwar’s deputy, Khalil al Hague, and that of the party’s chief of special operations for this territory, Raed Saad.

“Both residences served as military infrastructure for the terrorist organization Hamas,” they added.

Attacks were also launched against the office of Samah Saraj, head of planning and development in the organization’s political bureau, the home of Yusuf Abd al Ahoub, commander of Hamas’s Zeitun battalion in Gaza City.

The Israeli Army has also confirmed attacks on dozens of weapons production and storage sites in Sabra Tel Aloha, Sheikh Umdan and Gaza City, and the destruction of some 40 rocket launchers intended for attacks against Israel.

Witnesses confirmed to the AFP that Sinwar’s home had been hit by bombing.

In March, Yahya Sinwar was re-elected head of the Hamas political bureau in the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian enclave of two million people under the control of this Islamist movement and subjected to an Israeli blockade since 2007.

According to a military spokesperson, of the total number of shells, about 450 fell within the enclave and about 1,150 were intercepted by the Israeli anti-missile system, Iron Dome..

The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, has considered this Sunday as “just and moral” the operations of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on the Gaza Strip and he has stated his intention to continue responding “energetically” to the rocket fire by terrorist groups of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on his country.
