Jawad Abu Shmala, the finance minister for Hamas, and Zakaria Abu Maamar, a member of Hamas' political bureau, are the two prominent figures who lost their lives in the strikes.
The United Nations (U.N.) announced that it is investigating “war crimes” committed by both Israel and Iran, claiming it had “serious evidence” that both countries violated international law.
A commander in the Israeli forces said that weapons left behind in President Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal are being used for terrorist attacks against Israel.
In a significant escalation, Israel has declared a "complete siege" on the Gaza Strip, following a series of deadly attacks by Hamas across the nation over the weekend.
In the midst of the escalating conflict now in its fourth day, the Israeli military has issued a stark warning, stating on Tuesday that their retaliatory airstrikes against Gaza will be “bigger than before and more severe.”
