Palestinian sources report that IDF strikes across the Gaza Strip since Sunday morning have killed at least 18 people, including a senior commander in the military wing of Hamas. The strikes hit multiple locations, with no further details on the identity of the commander or the specific targets released.
This evening's update to the ongoing report on IDF strikes in Gaza confirms that a senior Hamas military commander is among the 18 fatalities reported since Sunday morning. The commander's identity has not been disclosed. The strikes, which have been ongoing since midnight, were first tracked by The Zioneer at 18:32 Jerusalem, when a targeted strike on a vehicle in the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City was reported to have eliminated four terrorists.
At 18:32 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that a targeted vehicle strike in the Rimal neighborhood eliminated four terrorists. Shortly thereafter, Palestinian sources reported at least 18 killed in more than 10 separate attacks across the Gaza Strip since midnight. Later reports confirmed that the vehicle strike killed four Hamas operatives, and that Israeli officials are rejecting pressure for a ceasefire without Hamas disarmament, including reported pressure from Jared Kushner.
The strikes continue a sustained campaign of targeted operations in the Gaza Strip, which has seen daily IDF activity. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, Israeli officials emphasized that there will be no ceasefire until Hamas disarms, despite reported political pressure. On Saturday, July 25, The Zioneer reported that eight Hamas operatives had been eliminated since that morning alone.
The identity of the senior Hamas commander killed in today's strikes has not been disclosed, and the IDF has not provided official confirmation of the reports. The specific locations of all strikes and the full casualty list remain unverified by official sources.
