An Israeli airstrike overnight destroyed a pair of rocket launchers in Rafah that were aimed at the Kerem Shalom border crossing, the Israel Defence Forces said on Sunday.
Since the October 7 Hamas massacre and the subsequent war against Hamas in Gaza the Hezbollah terrorist organization, from its bases in Lebanon, has been launching rockets indiscriminately at Israeli cities in the north.
Azmi Abu Daqqa, a prominent Hamas operative in the terror group's Procurement Dept. was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Rafah, the Israel Defense Forces said on Sunday.
In a press conference, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said that the military recovered the body of another hostage from the Gaza Strip after announcing yesterday that three slain captives were returned on a special mission.
The three were identified as Itzhak Gelerenter, Amit Buskila, and Shani Louk. In a press statement, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said the bodies were recovered in an overnight operation carried out by the military and Shin Bet.
The drone struck a base where the IDF operates Sky Dew, a system of missile-detecting blimps. Located 35 km inside Israel, the attack represents Hezbollah's deepest strike since October 7.
The incident took place in the Jabalya refugee camp where Hamas has been trying to regroup. An initial probe found that a tank fired two shells at a building where soldiers from the Paratroopers Brigade's 202nd Battalion were gathered.
