IDF Strikes Hamas, Kills Commander Mansour

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced the killing of Muhammad Mansour, a senior Hamas operative who provided technological expertise to Hamas' military intelligence, along with several other terrorists involved in attacks against IDF soldiers. This operation involved intelligence-based strikes and targeted approximately 20 locations in the Gaza Strip, including military structures and terrorist cells. The IDF reported ongoing operations in both central and southern Gaza, where they discovered weapons and dismantled significant terror infrastructure. Despite these military actions, reports from Gaza Civil Defense indicate that civilian casualties included at least 20 deaths, including women and children, as a result of airstrikes. The IDF's continued focus on eliminating Hamas threats reflects their strategy to weaken the organization's operational capabilities amidst the ongoing conflict.
