Israeli forces say they killed the commander of Military -Marine forces Hamas in Northern Gas during a strike at a coast, which killed dozens of civilians.

Following the attack on the popular Al-BAQA cafe in Gaza, Monday members in Gaza and abroad reported the BBC about their shock from the scale of civilian victims.

A statement on Sunday in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said the strike killed Ramzi Ramadan Abdi Ali, as well as Hisham Aiman ​​Mansour, the deputy head of the mortar unit Hamas and Muhammad Suleiman Abu Sabha.

Saleh was a “significant source of knowledge” within Hamas and participated in the planning and promotion of “marine terrorist attacks”, IDF said.

Sources in Gaza had previously told the BBC that the senior commander Hamas was rumored to be in the cafe during the strike.

IDF also stated that it took action “to mitigate the risk of harming civilians,” but did not give more information about why so many people were killed in the incident.

The BBC considered 29 names of people who reported that they had died in a cafe for at least nine of whom were women and several were children and adolescents.

Those who were killed were artists, students, social activists, boxer, footballer and cafe staff.

The staff at the Shifa Hospital, who received the bodies from the attack, said that on Thursday, 40 dead, including the people who succumbed to their injuries and the unspecified bodies.

The official in the hospital said some bodies were “undermined into pieces” and that 72 affected patients were brought there – many who received serious burns and significant injuries that required surgery.

The Al-Baqa cafeteria was well known throughout the gas lane and many considered one of the most colorful and striking places of the territory.

It remained popular even during the war, especially because of its unusually stable internet connection.

IDF did not answer a few BBC questions about whether it is considered to be the number of civilian victims proportional.

A statement said on Sunday that “he will continue to act against the Hamas terrorist organization to remove any threat representing Israeli civilians” before saying that the “incident” was “submitted”.

Meanwhile, indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas started in Qatar on Sunday to discuss the last proposal to cease fire in gas and the hostage transaction.

The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the attack on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people, and 251 people were taken hostage.

At least 57,338 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the Ministry of Health in the field of health in the territory.
