Airstrikes on Khan Yunis: Hamas leader reportedly killed

• Israeli airstrike on Khan Yunis: Hamas reported that Salah al-Bardawil, a political leader of the movement, was killed in an Israeli airstrike. The Israeli army has not confirmed this report.
• Victims of the attacks: Since the resumption of airstrikes on Tuesday, 504 people have been killed, including over 190 children, according to the civil defence in the Gaza Strip.
• Humanitarian crisis: The war in the Gaza Strip has been ongoing since October 2023, causing widespread destruction and a humanitarian crisis. Most of the 2.1 million residents have become refugees.

Hamas reported that Salah al-Bardawil, a political leader of the movement, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Khan Yunis. The Israeli army has not confirmed this report. This information was conveyed early on Sunday morning. Airstrikes on the Gaza Strip were resumed on Tuesday, causing the deaths of 504 people, including over 190 children.

Israel resumed the offensive, claiming that the targets are Hamas fighters and infrastructure. The Israeli government emphasizes that the actions are a response to Hamas rejecting proposals to extend the ceasefire. Negotiations have stalled, with both sides accusing each other of breaking the agreement.

The Israeli government is pressing for an extension of the ceasefire in exchange for the release of hostages and negotiating a lasting truce. Hamas demands that the release of captives be part of the process of ending the war, which was part of the original agreement rejected by Israel. The conflict began after a Hamas attack on southern Israel in October 2023, which resulted in the deaths of about 1,200 people, with 251 taken hostage. Currently, 24 hostages remain alive in captivity.
