Hamas spokesperson Abdul Latif al-Qanou was killed Thursday in an Israeli air strike targeting northern Gaza’s Jabalia area, according to Hamas-run media. Several others were wounded in the attack, part of intensified bombings across Gaza this week. 🚨
Conflict Resumes After Ceasefire Collapse
The strike follows Israel’s recent resumption of military operations, ending a two-month ceasefire. Since March 18, Gaza’s health ministry reports at least 830 deaths, over half women and children. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of rejecting ceasefire proposals and vowed to increase pressure to free hostages.
High-Profile Losses for Hamas
Al-Qanou is among 11 members of Hamas’ 20-person decision-making body killed since late 2023. This week alone saw two other senior leaders—Ismail Barhoum and Salah al-Bardawil—eliminated in strikes. 💥
Netanyahu reiterated plans to 'seize territory in Gaza' if hostages aren’t released, deepening fears of prolonged violence. Medical sources report additional casualties in Gaza City and Khan Younis as attacks escalate.
