Another member of Hamas has been killed in a bombing incident in Gaza, making it the third leader to be targeted in a short span of time.

Israel carried out an airstrike in the central Gaza Strip on Tuesday, resulting in the death of a prominent Hamas commander. This marks the third instance where Israel has targeted and eliminated key members of the Palestinian terrorist organization through their ongoing bombardment of the region.

The Qassam Brigades, the military faction of Hamas, announced on Tuesday that Ayman Nofal, the commander of the militants, was killed in the attack.

Nofal is the most high-profile Hamas commander killed since the group’s Oct. 7 terrorist assault that killed 1,3000 Israelis and at least 27 Americans. He was a member of the higher military council of the Qassam Brigades.

Israeli Defense Forces officials have stated that they are focusing their efforts on locating and attacking Hamas hideouts, infrastructure, and command centers across Gaza. This comes after Israel issued a warning to approximately 1 million Palestinian civilians in the northern regions of the besieged area, advising them to evacuate in anticipation of an upcoming ground offensive.

The IDF said over the weekend that it carried out strikes that killed two other Hamas commanders directly involved in the rampage inside Israel.

On Saturday, Merad Abu Merad, the leader of Hamas’ aerial system, and Ali Qadi, a commander in the terrorists’ commando force, were killed in the airstrikes.

President Biden has sent the IDF his support by deploying the two biggest aircraft carrier battle groups of America to the area.

Against the backdrop of IDF airstrikes, Gaza is experiencing a growing humanitarian crisis. Palestinian medical professionals are issuing warnings that the lack of fuel and essential supplies in overcrowded hospitals could result in the loss of thousands of lives.

The number of Palestinians killed since the start of the conflict has surpassed 2,300, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. This surpasses the number of casualties during the Gaza War in 2014, which lasted for over six weeks.
