Killing a Hamas Founder and Night Raids on the West Bank: Israel’s Military Blitz Continues!
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) struck hard last night in Gaza, killing Hakem Alisa, one of Hamas’s founders and the top commander of its combat division. This guy was a key planner behind the shocking October 7 attack on Israel that shook the world. But wait, there’s more! The IDF also launched a series of raids on the West Bank overnight, arresting at least 14 Palestinians, including a journalist.
Who is Hakem Alisa?
Hakem Alisa wasn’t just any fighter. He was a founding member of Hamas’s military wing, the head of the combat operations division, and handled administrative support. According to the IDF, he was one of the last senior Hamas operatives left in Gaza after the October 7 attack. His death is a major blow to Hamas and a clear message that Israel isn’t backing down.
Night Raids and Clashes on the West Bank
While the Gaza operation was underway, Israeli settlers attacked IDF soldiers in the village of Kafr Malek on the West Bank. Dozens of settlers threw stones, verbally and physically assaulted soldiers, damaged military vehicles, and tried to break through a military cordon. The soldiers quickly responded, dispersed the crowd, and arrested six people.
At the same time, Israeli forces conducted raids in northern West Bank provinces, including Nablus and Salfit, detaining at least 14 Palestinians. Among them was a journalist. The raids involved house searches and arrests of young men in several villages and towns.
What Does This Mean?
This string of events shows the Israel-Palestine conflict is far from over. Israel continues its military pressure on Hamas in Gaza, while tensions escalate on the West Bank between settlers and Palestinians, backed by Israeli security forces.
Is This the Start of a New Conflict Phase?
The killing of a top Hamas figure and intensified raids on the West Bank could spark a new wave of violence. Hamas has lost a key commander, and Palestinians on the West Bank face increasing raids and violence.
Conclusion
Israel shows no signs of easing its campaign against Hamas and Palestinians. As the world watches, the conflict rages on, and civilians suffer. When will this end? Or are we doomed to watch an endless cycle of violence?
