Press -Secretary of Hamas Abu Abida died in gas, says Israel

Israel said the Press Socialist Abu -Abeyda, a press -secretary of the armed wing Hamas, died as a result of an air strike in Gaza.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz congratulated Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israeli security agency, tire bet, for “impeccable execution” in the message X.

He did not give details about the time and place of the operation, but IDF has previously stated that his plane was attacked by a “key terrorist” in the Al-Rimal neighborhood on Saturday, which caused reports to Israeli media that Obeida was the purpose.

Hamas did not confirm his death. Earlier, the Palestinian armed group stated that dozens of civilians were killed and wounded in Israeli strokes on a residential building in the area.

On Sunday, Katz warned that many “criminal partners” OBEIDA would be aimed at “Instant Company in Gaza” – a reference to the recently approved Israeli plan for maintaining Gaza.

Separately IDF and Shin Bet offered more information on the strike on Saturday, which aimed at the Hamas press.

In a joint statement, they stated that the operation became possible from the preliminary intelligence collected (Shin Bet) and the IDF intelligence management, which determined its repository.

Five rockets hit the second and third floor of the six -storey apartment building at the same time from two different directions.

The target apartment was used as an operation of the dentist. Witnesses report hundreds of thousands of dollars flying into the air from the strike, with large sums, stolen and later withdrawn members of Hamas.

Obida was one of the few other members of the military wing Hamas from the death attack on October 7, 2023 on Southern Israel.

The joint statement states that Obeida “served as a public terrorist organization” Hamas “and” common propaganda of Hamas “.

Over the past few years, it was thought that it was about 40 years old – a number of long dialects against Israel on behalf of the military wing Hamas, the Al -Kazo brigade.

Always in the masks in the Palestinian scales, he became an idol of Hamas supporter in the Middle East.

The fact that his speech perhaps on Friday may have stated that the fate of the other Israeli hostages would be the same as the Hamas fighters, warning Israel against the planned invasion of Gaza.

On Saturday, Hamas accused IDF of hitting a residential building in a densely populated neighborhood of Al-Rimal Gaza.

Local journalists report that at least seven people were killed and 20 were hit, with children among the victims.

IDF noted that the attack “Many steps have been taken to reduce the likelihood of harming civilians, including the use of accurate weapons, air observations and more intelligence information.”

BBC NEWS could not independently check the claims neither IDF nor Hamas.

In early August, the Israeli security office approved a plan for the gas control plan in the new offensive, with the stated goal to bring to the end of the 22-month war.

The UN has repeatedly warned that complete military absorption risks “catastrophic consequences” for Palestinian civilians and Israeli hostages held in Gaza. The UK ambassador to Israel said it would be a “huge mistake”.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to defeat Hamas and is not in international criticism of his plans to expand the war.

The Israeli military operation began in response to the attack on October 7 under the leadership of Hamas, which killed about 1,200 people, and 251 people were taken hostage. Since then, the Ministry of Health Gaza reports, more than 63,000 Palestinians have been killed since then.

While the surgery to seize the city of Gaza will not start seriously, Israeli attacks on the city – where almost one million people live – continue.

The Israeli military said they plan to evacuate the whole gas population and transfer it to the shelter in the south before the troops moved. Most of the gas population has been moved many times.

More than 90% of city houses are estimated or destroyed, and health care systems, water, sanitation and hygiene have fallen apart.

Last week, Hunger conditions were first confirmed in Gaza and its surrounding areas.
