Amid the possible war between Israel and Iran, the IDF is continuously conducting its operations in Gaza. The Israeli Defense Forces’ ground and air forces are carrying out massive attacks. Meanwhile, on Monday, the Israeli army killed Abed al-Jeri, a strong pillar of Hamas, after Haniya. Abed was the biggest obstacle in reaching humanitarian aid to the common people in Gaza.
The IDF said in a statement, “We have killed a big Hamas terrorist Abed, who used to prevent humanitarian aid from reaching the citizens of Gaza. He worked in the manufacturing department of Hamas’ military wing and was also the economy minister. Not only this, he also used to manage the markets controlled by Hamas and supply goods.
On Sunday, the Israeli army again targeted two schools. 25 people have died in these attacks, while dozens have been injured. The attack was so strong that the schools have turned into rubble. Rescue workers have pulled out 25 bodies from the school, while the injured were rushed to the hospital. Displaced Palestinians were living in these schools.
The Israeli army also admitted that it had attacked the military complex located in two schools in Gaza city. On Saturday too, Israel had attacked the Hamama school in Sheikh Radwan in northern Gaza, in which 16 people were killed, while 21 people were injured. Not only this, in the early hours of Sunday, Israel had targeted a tent camp in Deir al-Balah, in which four people were killed.
On the other hand, amid the setback in the ceasefire efforts in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a stern warning to Iran and its allies. During the cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, Netanyahu has made it clear that if anyone tries to harm Israel, then it will have to pay a very heavy price. Israel is not helpless in front of any country.
Netanyahu said that Iran wants to surround Israel on 7 fronts. He said, “Iran and its supporters want to surround us in a circle of terror on seven fronts. Their visible aggression is insatiable, but Israel is not helpless. We are determined to stand against them on every front, in every region, far and wide. Anyone who kills our citizens will be given a befitting reply.”
On Sunday, White House spokesman John Kirby has spoken of supporting Israel. He said that he is ready after Iran’s threat. Last Wednesday, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Iran’s capital Tehran, for which Israel has been blamed. After this, the next day, military commander Fuad Shukr was also assassinated in Lebanon’s capital Beirut.
