The IDF reported that an aerial strike in Gaza on Friday resulted in the elimination of a senior Hamas commander, they also successfully neutralized Hamas operatives and dismantled rocket launch sites, according to Fox News.
Moreover, Hagari emphasized that in the coming hours, they would provide concrete evidence demonstrating Hamas's exploitation of humanitarian facilities for terrorist activities, putting the citizens of Gaza at risk. He reiterated their commitment to exposing this evidence, underscoring the cynical misuse of such facilities by Hamas.
Hagari also shared updates on the unfortunate toll, confirming 310 deceased IDF soldiers and 229 hostages. He stressed that every possible effort, spanning civilian, operational, and intelligence initiatives, is dedicated to the highest priority: bringing the hostages back safely.
Furthermore, Hagari pointed out Hamas's concerning preference for jeopardizing the residents of Gaza in order to shield terrorists. He highlighted instances where resources like food, electricity, and medical supplies were prioritized for Hamas operatives over the civilians of Gaza who were not involved in the conflict. The IDF is resolute in its commitment to exposing this evidence to the global community and the public.
