Israel has claimed the killing of Palestinian Prime Minister Rahi Mustaha and two other high-ranking officials.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claimed on Thursday (October 3).
In support of their claim, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that three months ago, Gaza Prime Minister Rahi Mustaha, Hamas official Sameh al-Siraj and Sami Odeh were targeted, and now they have confirmed that these three people were killed in that attack. News Reuters
They also said that the three were staying in a tunnel in northern Gaza at the time of the attack. At that time, based on intelligence information, air strikes were carried out targeting them. The IDF also claimed that the tunnel in which Gaza`s prime minister was housed had many facilities and the means to stay there for a long time.
The IDF claimed that Hamas kept this information secret so as not to demoralize Hamas fighters.
The war between Hamas and Israel started on October 7 last year. Occupying Israel has killed more than 43,000 Palestinians so far in this year-long war. In addition to Hamas fighters, high-ranking officials, there are thousands of civilians.
At the start of the war, Israel said it would completely eliminate Hamas from Gaza. But so far the occupying Israel has not been able to achieve this goal.
