Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated that the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) will go ahead with the ground operation in Rafah, despite global concerns, and he has told US President Joe Biden about the same, the Times of Israel reported.
In addition, IAF warplanes attacked a military structure used by the Hezbollah terrorist organization in the Al Adisa area, also located in southern Lebanon.
The Hamas figure killed during the raid was identified as Faiq Mabhuoch, head of the Operations Directorate of Hamas's Internal Security. Mabhuoh was also responsible for coordinating Hamas terror activities in the Gaza Strip.
Israel Defence Force (IDF) Spokesperson RAdm Daniel Hagari said in the wee hours of Monday that the operation is a response to concrete intelligence requiring immediate action, emphasising that the objective is to combat Hamas militants rather than harm civilians.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that overnight its warplanes attacked a military building used by the terrorist organization Hezbollah in the Al-Khiam area in Lebanon.
The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) confirmed that earlier on Wednesday Muhammad Abu Hasna, a Hamas terrorist in the operations department of the Rafah area in Gaza, was killed in an air strike.
