Following the bombardment of the Gaza Strip by the Israeli army, health officials in Gaza reported that at least 11 Palestinians were killed during these attacks. The Israeli army announced on Sunday, October 8, that its forces would continue operations on multiple fronts, including Gaza, with the aim of destroying Hamas and recovering Israeli and foreign hostages. According to health sources in Gaza, under Hamas's rule, the targeting of a school in the area resulted in the deaths of four individuals and injuries to several others. The Israeli army stated that the targeted building, which had previously operated as a school, had been converted into a command center for Hamas militants. Israel accuses the Hamas group of exploiting civilians and civilian facilities for military purposes, a claim that Hamas has denied. Meanwhile, Hamas media and local residents reported ongoing Israeli operations in Rafah, near the border with Egypt, as well as in the suburbs of Gaza City. Following an escalation of Israeli military attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon, which is supported by the Islamic Republic, the intensity of the war and Israeli operations in Gaza has decreased in the past week. Mahmoud Abbas has called on the international community to stop sending weapons to Israel. The U.S. has issued warnings about the risk of escalating tensions in the Middle East. Reactions to the deaths of miners indicate that the priority of the Islamic Republic is to build equipped tunnels for terrorists in Gaza and Lebanon. Israeli media reported that Netanyahu is considering a plan to besiege Hamas in northern Gaza.
