In a dramatic turn of events in northern Gaza, the Israeli military confirmed that an overnight airstrike struck deep in Jabalia refugee camp, killing Hamas spokesperson Abdul Latif al-Qanou. The strike, which took place at dawn on Thursday, is part of a series of targeted operations amid escalating tensions.
The military described al-Qanou as one of Hamas' key inciters, accusing him of using media platforms to spread propaganda, induce psychological terror, and circulate misleading information about Hamas' activities both locally and beyond the region.
According to reports from health officials via Hamas-run channels, several others were injured in the same attack. Meanwhile, Hamas stated that al-Qanou's death will only strengthen its resolve, vowing that this loss will fuel further resistance efforts.
This incident comes on the heels of a breakdown in the ceasefire agreement, which had been in effect since January 19. Israeli airstrikes resumed on March 18, followed by extensive ground operations across southern, northern, and central Gaza. Local health authorities report that the death toll from this latest escalation has now exceeded 855.
As the situation remains volatile, young audiences and global onlookers alike are watching closely. Stay tuned for more updates as the conflict continues to reshape the region’s dynamics. 😮
