The Israeli military estimates that it has killed over 150 Hamas operatives and members of other terror groups since it resumed its offensive in the Gaza Strip a week ago.
Hamas has claimed that over 700 Palestinians have been killed in that time. The figure has not been verified and does not differentiate between civilians and combatants.
Over 420 targets have been hit by the Israeli Air Force, Navy, and ground troops in the offensive so far, according to the IDF.
The IDF has so far named 10 senior Hamas political officials and mid-level military commanders who have been killed in the strikes. Other Hamas commanders were targeted, and the IDF is still working to confirm they were killed.
Ground troops are currently operating in Rafah’s Tel Sultan and Shaboura neighborhoods in southern Gaza and several areas in the Strip’s north. The IDF also pushed into the Netzarim Corridor and captured about half of it.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
