Israel launched further airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on Tuesday\n(29\/09\/2026), killing Izz al-Din Al-Beik, a figure identified as the\nhead of Hamas\u2019s armed wing in the Northern Gaza region.<\/p>\n
Al-Beik\u2019s death was confirmed by both Israeli and Palestinian\nofficials, as reported by Reuters. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin\nNetanyahu, alongside Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz, stated that\nthe Israeli military specifically targeted Al-Beik and successfully\neliminated him.<\/p>\n
According to Netanyahu and Katz, Al-Beik was involved in planning\nattacks and recruiting new members for Hamas.<\/p>\n
Hamas also confirmed Al-Beik\u2019s death due to the Israeli strike.\nMedical personnel reported that the attack hit an apartment building in\nthe Nasr area of Gaza City around dawn. Local health officials noted\nthat another victim subsequently died from injuries sustained during the\nstrike.<\/p>\n
Israel claims that Hamas has been rearming and launching attacks,\nwhich Israel considers a violation of the ceasefire agreement\nestablished in October. In recent weeks, Israel has increased its\nstrikes against the group.<\/p>\n
The Israeli military stated that at least 20 Hamas figures have been\nkilled this month. Among them are individuals identified by Israel as\nsenior commanders, those involved in the 7 October 2023 attacks, and\nthose who previously held Israeli hostages.<\/p>\n
Hamas has denied these allegations, stating that they are not\npreparing attacks or rebuilding their arsenal, while simultaneously\naccusing Israel of undermining the Gaza ceasefire agreement.<\/p>\n
The ceasefire, agreed upon last year through US mediation, was\nintended to regulate the next phase of Gaza\u2019s reconstruction. However,\nimplementation has been slow as negotiators have yet to reach an\nagreement regarding the mechanism for Hamas\u2019s disarmament and the\nwithdrawal of Israeli forces from the territory.<\/p>\n
Amidst this deadlock, Israeli airstrikes continue to persist.<\/p>\n
Gaza health officials reported that at least 1,400 Palestinians have\nbeen killed since the ceasefire came into effect. Meanwhile, the Israeli\nmilitary stated that four of its soldiers have died during the same\nperiod.<\/p>\n
Overall, Palestinian authorities state that more than 73,000 people\nhave been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza. The military operation\nbegan after Hamas-led fighters attacked southern Israel in October 2023,\nkilling approximately 1,200 people.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/israel-kills-senior-hamas-commander-gaza-war-re-ignites-1790675715", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
