Israeli forces have eliminated a top Hamas commander who played a major role in the deadly October 7 massacre in Israel. The Israel Defense Forces announced the targeted airstrike that killed Nassim Abu Ajina, commander of the Beit Lahia Battalion in Hamas’ northern division.
According to IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari, Ajina was directly responsible for directing the attacks against Israeli citizens on 7 October. The statement released by Hagari emphasized the significant damage done to Hamas’ efforts to disrupt IDF ground operations by eliminating Ajina.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu compared the Hamas massacre to the infamous Pearl Harbor attacks and 9/11 in the United States. He stated that Israel has every right to retaliate against Hamas terrorists. Netanyahu defiantly rejected calls for a ceasefire, saying that surrendering to Hamas would be tantamount to surrendering to terrorism and barbarism.
The Israeli leader passionately drew a line between the forces of civilization and barbarism, urging the world to take a stand. He stressed that Israel will stand firm against these forces until victory is achieved, expressing the hope that civilized nations will support its struggle.
As the conflict intensifies, Israeli forces have entered the second stage of their operations, expanding ground operations in the Gaza Strip. Military officials have warned that the war will be long and hard. Tragically, the death toll on both sides continues to rise, with estimates suggesting that more than 9,400 people have lost their lives, including Israeli civilians, soldiers and US citizens.
Although Gaza’s health ministry, run by Hamas, claims a higher number of Palestinian casualties, the United States has questioned the accuracy of these figures.
