Gaza: Israel says Hamas leader killed

He was also in charge of finance in the Hamas Politburo. According to Israeli sources, Siraj is responsible for security issues in the Hamas Politburo. Uda reportedly headed the Hamas Internal Security Agency.

In mid-July, Hamas military chief Mohammed Taif, believed to be the mastermind of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, was killed in an airstrike in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military confirmed his killing in early August. At the end of July, Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Hamas Politburo, was assassinated in the Iranian capital, Tehran. Iran blamed Israel for the attack.

The fate of dozens of hostages remains uncertain

On October 7, 2023, hundreds of terrorists from Hamas and its affiliated Islamic terrorist groups entered southern Israel from the Gaza Strip. According to Israeli figures, a total of 1,205 people, mostly civilians, were killed in several cities, at a music festival and as hostages in the Gaza Strip. Of the 251 hostages abducted by Hamas, 97 are currently being held in the Gaza Strip, and 33 of them have been officially declared dead by Israel.

Since the attack by Hamas terrorists, the Israeli army has been taking serious action in the Gaza Strip. According to the Hamas Health Authority, which cannot be independently verified, more than 41,700 people have been killed in the Palestinian territories.
