With his hooded appearances, Abu Obeida was one of the most famous terrorists in Hamas. Now he was killed. Meanwhile, Israel plans to expand the war.

Israel’s army killed the long -time spokesman for the Hamas military arm, Abu Obeida. Defense Minister Israel Katz said on the platform X that the speaker was “eliminated” in Gaza. For the posting, he put a crossed -out photo of Obeidas with the words: “We sent him to a meeting with all eliminated actors of the axis of evil into the depths of hell.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had previously confirmed the attack and explained: “I hope that he is no longer among us.”

According to the Israeli representative that is not mentioned by name, the attack on Abu Obeida is said to have already taken place in the city of Gaza on Friday. Hamas has not yet confirmed the death of Obeida. The organization of the organization said that the rumors were part of an Israeli disinformation campaign. Abu Obeida was a spokesman for the Kassam brigades and was considered one of the best-known representatives of the terrorist organization. He was always only masked with a Palestinian cloth during appearances and video messages.

Since the beginning of the Gaza War almost two years ago, Israel has already killed numerous ranking Hamas leaders and commanders, including Ismail Hanija and Mohammed Deif. According to Israeli information, military chief Jihia al-Sinwar was already killed in May, but the terrorist group only confirmed death.

According to the health authorities controlled by the Hamas, at least 30 people died, including 13, who are said to have been near an issue for relief goods. Residents spoke of tank fire and air strikes in inhabited quarter. A spokesman for the Israeli military declared that the reports were examined.

According to government officials, the Israeli security cabinet wants to advise on the next steps of an offensive to take Gaza city on Sunday. Netanyahu had recently described the city as the last bastion of Hamas. Tens of thousands of reservists are to be mobilized for the soil offensive, but the major attack is only expected in a few weeks.

Israel has said that the civilian population wanted to evacuate before other ground troops. The head of the Red Cross, Mirjana Spoljaric, had warned on Saturday that an evacuation of the city would trigger a massive expulsion of the people there, for which no other area in the Gaza Strip was equipped. In addition, the Israeli military warned the political leadership that the offensive endangers the hostages still held by Hamas.

The humanitarian location in the Gaza Strip, meanwhile, remains dramatic. According to the Health Ministry controlled by the Hamas, 339 people have died of malnutrition, including 124 children. Seven other starvation were added on Sunday alone. Since the beginning of the war on October 7, 2023, more than 63,000 Palestinians are said to have been killed.
