A prominent Hamas intelligence officer was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip, the IDF says.
The military says Muhammad Mansour was a “significant source of technological knowledge in Hamas’s military intelligence.”
Over the past day, some 20 targets were struck by the Israeli Air Force across Gaza, including buildings used by the terror group and operatives, the IDF says.
Meanwhile, the IDF’s 162nd Division continues to operate in southern Gaza’s Rafah, where in the past day the military says troops located weapons, killed gunmen, and destroyed sites used by Hamas.
In the Netzarim Corridor of central Gaza, the IDF’s 5th and 14th reserve brigades were recently deployed there to operate under the 252nd Division, swapping out the Jerusalem and Harel reserve brigades.
Bridging the US-Israel divide
While the heart of The Times of Israel’s work takes place in Israel, so many of Jerusalem’s actions are influenced by those in Washington’s halls of power.
As ToI’s US bureau chief, I work to gain access to decision-makers in the United States government so our readers can understand the US-Israel relationship beyond the platitudes evident in public statements.
I'm proud of our ability to inform without sensationalizing, our dedication to be fast while ensuring accuracy, and our determination to present Israel's entire, complex story.
