At least 18 Palestinians were killed in Israeli blows in Rafa and Han Juni today.
Salah al -Bardawil, a member of Hamas’ political office, was killed after an Israeli bombing in the Han Younis area, in the southern lane of Gaza.
The announcement was made by officials of the organization, while residents spoke of escalating Israel’s six -day military campaign.
Dead and Bardauil’s wife from the same blow
Media adjacent to Hamas reported that the air strike in Han Junis resulted in Bardauil and his wife being killed. There was no direct comment by Israeli officials. Taher al-Nono, a communications adviser to the Hamas leadership, referred to Bardauil’s death in a post on Facebook.
After two months of relative tranquility in the war that erupted 17 months ago, Gaza residents were again trying to escape their lives as Israel essentially abandoned the truce, launching the third new air and land attack on Hamas.
Explosions were heard in the northern, central and southern lane of Gaza early today, as Israeli aircraft hit several targets in these areas, with eyewitnesses stating that it was a escalation of the attack on Tuesday.
At least 18 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli blows today
At least 18 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli blows in Rafa and Han Juni today, as the health authorities have announced.
Israeli Army spokesman Avitsai Andrai issued a warning of residents in the neighborhood of Tel Al-Sultan in West Rafa in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, saying that the army launched an attack there to eradicate “terrorism”.
In a statement, Hamas accused Israel of killing Bardawil, who prayed with his wife when an Israeli rocket hit the scene in which he fled to Han Juni. “His blood, that of his wife and witnesses, will continue to feed the battle of liberation and independence. The enemy criminal will not bend our determination and will, “the organization said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly stated that the main goal of the war in the Gaza Strip is to destroy Hamas as a political and military force. After ordering the resumption of mass air bombardment in the Palestinian enclave on Tuesday, he said the aim is to force the Palestinian Islamist movement to release the hostages he continues to hold. DE Facto, head of the Hamas government in the Gaza Aisam Antalis Strip and Interior Minister Mahmoud Abu Watfa were among the victims of Tuesday’s bombings.
