Israel Defence Forces or IDF has said its fighter jets
hit the home of Hamas’ Political Bureau head, Ismail Haniyeh in the Gaza strip.
The IDF said the house was used as terrorist infrastructure and a meeting point
for Hamas’ senior leaders to direct terrorist attacks against Israel.
The head of the Hamas political bureau, Ismail
Haniyeh, resides in Qatar, but his family home is in the Gaza strip, reported The
Times of Israel.
Taking to X, the IDF stated, “IDF fighter jets struck
the residence of Ismail Haniyeh, the Head of Hamas’ Political Bureau. The
residence was used as terrorist infrastructure and a meeting point for Hamas’
senior leaders to direct terrorist attacks against Israel.”
Earlier, Israel Defence Forces shared a video showing
weapons inside Gaza’s Al Shifa Hospital. In the video posted on X, Israel
Defence Forces Lt Col Jonathan Conricus toured Al-Shifa Hospital’s MRI
building.
In the video, he said, “We’re inside the MRI centre of
the Shifa Hospital. Israeli troops breached here a few hours ago and we have
cleared the area, made sure that it’s safe. A few of the most interesting
things that we have found totally confirmed without any doubt that Hamas
systematically uses hospitals in their military operations in violation of
international law and what we have found. I think, it is only the tip of the
iceberg.”
“Let me show you a few examples. Security cameras have
been obstructed, all of the security cameras are covered, and this isn’t the
only one. You’ll see the rest of them here,” he added.
Conricus also said Israel Defence Forces had found a
laptop in an MRI room, which is now being analysed by Israel’s intel personnel.
He also showed medical equipment, including bandages and handgear.
While sharing the video on X, the IDF stated, “Watch
as LTC (res.) Jonathan Conricus exposes the countless Hamas weapons IDF troops
have uncovered in the Shifa Hospital’s MRI building.”
Meanwhile, the IDF said that troops of the Nahal
Brigade’s reconnaissance unit found and destroyed weapons and equipment
belonging to Hamas’s naval forces in Gaza City’s al-Shati camp, The Times of
Israel reported. According to the IDF, the weapons included diving equipment,
firearms, and explosive devices.
The IDF said paratroopers also found other weapons and
explosives in the northern Gaza Strip overnight, after a gun battle with Hamas
terrorists, The Times of Israel reported. According to IDF, the forces found
suicide vests, other explosive devices, RPGs, anti-tank missiles, and
intelligence documents.
