Tel Aviv, Oct 15: The Israeli Air Force has killed Bilal al-Qedra, the top commander of the Nukhba force in the Southern Khan Yunis battalion. It is reported that Israeli fighter jets attacked the South Khan Yunis battalion of the terrorist organization Hamas in the Gaza Strip on Saturday night in which terrorist Bilal al-Qedra was killed.
This terrorist had carried out attacks, entering homes in the communities of Kibbutz Nirim and Nir Oz in southern Israel, resulting in the deaths of people. This Hamas commander also played a significant role in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad organization.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has issued a statement saying that they carried out strikes on more than a hundred Hamas locations in the vicinity of Zeitoun, Khan Yunis and West Jabalia. It was mentioned that the airstrikes targeted operational sites of Hamas from where terrorists used to launch attacks against Israel.
It is reported that the Israel Defense Forces have significantly damaged the headquarters of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, including their command centre, military compounds, numerous rocket launchers, anti-tank posts and watchtowers. The military headquarters of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organization has been severely affected.
The Israeli Defense Force has said that they have evidence that Hamas is erecting barriers to prevent Palestinian civilians from moving from northern to southern Gaza. Israel has talked about starting a ground operation. Hamas terrorists want to use the civilians of the Gaza Strip as their security shield in hand-to-hand combat.
The Israeli military has declared its readiness for a ‘coordinated’ assault on the Gaza Strip in Palestine, which will involve a combination of air, ground, and naval forces. The recent military statement stated that they are in the process of preparing various offensive operational plans. There are reports that Israel intends to deploy 10,000 troops with the objective of seizing Gaza City.
