Israel's military announced on Friday that a senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant, Mohammed al-Jabari, has been killed in Gaza. Al-Jabari served as the group's deputy head of weapons manufacturing and was known to be active in northern Gaza.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that in addition to al-Jabari's death, approximately 30 militants were killed in intense fighting and aerial strikes in Rafah, located in southern Gaza.
The IDF's operation targeted militants in the region, aiming to disrupt their activities and prevent potential attacks on Israeli territory. The military action in Rafah was part of ongoing efforts to maintain security and deter threats posed by militant groups in the area.
Israeli authorities have long been engaged in efforts to counter the activities of Palestinian militant organizations, such as Islamic Jihad, which have been responsible for launching attacks against Israeli civilians and security forces.
The death of al-Jabari and the elimination of other militants in Rafah mark significant developments in Israel's ongoing efforts to combat terrorism and protect its citizens from harm. The IDF remains vigilant in monitoring and responding to security threats in the region to safeguard the safety and well-being of the Israeli population.
