Top Hamas Rocket Commander Eliminated in Israeli Airstrike, Western Jabalia Fight Intensifies |Watch

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have successfully targeted and eliminated Abd el-Halim Abu Hussein, the head of rocket operations for Hamas's Western Jabalia battalion, in a precise air strike over the weekend.

National Unity leader Benny Gantz condemned the recent flash bomb attack near Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's home, calling it "terrorism" and not a legitimate protest.
