Since the attack by Hamas on October 7, Israel has launched a military offensive in Gaza, disregarding a UN Security Council resolution that called for a cease-fire.

In a recent operation, the Israeli army announced the killing of Mahmoud Hamdan, the commander of Hamas's Tel al-Sultan battalion in Rafah.

In light of these military actions, Israel faces accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice.

The blockade of Gaza has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis, resulting in critical shortages of food, clean water, and medicine.

Israeli officials have claimed that Mahmoud Hamdan was significantly involved in planning the October 7 attack by Hamas.

Israel is actively targeting four battalions within the Hamas Rafah Brigade, including Khalid ibn al-Walid, al-Shaboura, and Tel al-Sultan.

The military operations have also resulted in the deaths of three other squad leaders from the same battalion.

Local health authorities report that the ongoing conflict has led to more than 41,000 fatalities in Gaza, with a significant number of victims being women and children, alongside nearly 95,000 injuries.
