In addition, two sources of Hamas today 18.3 told AFP that Israeli air strikes entered Gaza in the early morning of the same day killed General Mahmud Abu Watfa, heading Hamas’s Interior Agency.
After Israel resumed air strikes in Gaza, the country’s defense minister Israel Katz announced it would continue to fight in Gaza until hostages were released and “achieved our war goals”. In addition to bringing hostages back, Israel’s other main war goal is to destroy Hamas.
A Israeli official revealed to AFP that military campaign against Hamas is expected to be “expanded outside the air strike”. Israel has ordered all schools near the Gaza border.
Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed he had instructed the army to perform a “strong action” against Hamas in Gaza to respond to the forces refusing to release hostages and reject the ceasefire proposals.
In response, Hamas accused Israel in reversing the ceasefire agreement, leaving the fate of 5 hostages still detained in Gaza uncertain, according to Reuters. A senior Hamas official, Izzat Al-Rishq, accused Israel the decision to sacrifice hostages by restarting major military activities in Gaza, breaking the relatively peaceful phase since the ceasefire began to take effect on January 19.
Houthi raided American aircraft carrier, threatening to continue
Meanwhile, the Houthi force in Yemen condemned the new Israeli attack wave, announcing it would enhance its own activities to support Hamas Allies after threatening to continue the attack on Israeli boats in the Red Sea, according to AFP.
Houthi, located in the “resistance axis” against the US and Israel, conducted a series of attacks by unmanned aircraft and missiles on boats passing through the Red Sea and Israeli territory in the Hamas-Israelis conflict in Gaza, declaring solidarity with the Palestinians.
After stopping attacks when the ceasefire in Gaza took effect, Houthi last week threatened to continue the attacks if Israel did not lift the blockade order for this devastated Palestinian territory.
