Israeli airstrike in southern Gaza kills Hamas political leader.:

Hamas criticizes Israel for killing Salah Al-Bardaweel, a Hamas political chief, on an airstrike that took place on Sunday in Khan Younis. Al-Bardaweel’s death marked the escalation of the Israeli military campaign that commenced last Tuesday, and his wife is said to have died in the airstrike as well, as reported by pro-Hamas media.

Israeli officials did not provide any remarks about the accusation.

Israel’s latest air and ground campaign to stop Hamas, a militant Palestinian group that has control over Gaza, initiated on Tuesday and has intensified further with time. The campaign has resulted in Gazans running for their lives with no sign of the ceasefire that was imposed regarding 2 months back.

Israeli defense forces have been targeting the central, southern, and northern Gaza Strip regions throughout Sunday leading to explosions and escalations reported by witnesses. Hamas stated Bardaweel was offering prayers with his wife at the time the missile was fired, claiming it to be an open act of assassination.

“His blood, along with his wife's and other martyrs’ blood, will continue to fuel the battle of liberation and independence. The criminal adversary shall not shatter our resolve and resolve,” the group stated.

Netanyahu understands precisely what the end goals of the Israeli war are: the obliteration of Hamas’ military and governing units. He has hypothesized that the objective of the campaign is to compel the organization to relinquish the last remaining hostage.

The head of Hamas de-facto government Essam Addalees and the head of internal security agency Mahmoud Abu Watfa, along with other officials, were eliminated by Israeli aerial attacks on Tuesday.

Palestinian emergency personnel said that a new house located on the Southern Gaza Strip, Rafah had been hit by an Israeli jet which resulted in multiple injuries.

Hamas has from the beginning accused Israel of breaching the clauses set forth in the January ceasefire agreement by refusing to enter into discussions about a conclusive end to the war and a removal of troops from Gaza. Despite this, Hamas has also suggested that they are still open to discussing and evaluating Witkoff's ‘bridging' proposals.

With concerns rising from Arab and European countries regarding a ceasefire, air strikes and ground assaults that have taken a toll on Gaza, Israel’s humanitarian access has been further limited. Britain, France, and Germany gave a statement collectively requesting Israel to permit the entrance of humanitarian necessities into Gaza.

Falk stated that aid funnels into Gaza has got blocked by Israel due to Hamas resorting to self-serving practices, which has previously been flagged by Hamas.

Hamas’s slaughtering of Israeli citizens located close to the Gaza Strip on the 7th of October this year, that according to Israel’s own calculation claimed close to 1,200 lives while 251 went missing and presumed captives, led to the retaliatory action by Israel in Gaza.

As reported by Palestinian authorities, the Israel operational tactics have in turn led to the demise of over 49,000 Palestinians and the crippled Gaza Coastal strip alongside the Palestinian territories has rendered countless families windowless and roofless.
