Senior Hamas Official Salah al-Bardawil Killed in Israeli Airstrike

Israeli military operations in Gaza continue as tensions escalate following the breakdown of a ceasefire in January 2025.

Salah al-Bardawil, a senior Hamas political bureau member, and his wife were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Khan Yunis, Gaza.
The airstrike, part of Israel's renewed offensive, resulted in at least 19 deaths, including women and children, according to local reports.
Israel resumed airstrikes and launched a ground offensive to pressure Hamas into releasing hostages taken during the October 2023 attacks.
The conflict has drawn criticism from European nations and sparked mass protests in Israel against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
The Houthi militia in Yemen, allied with Hamas, has resumed rocket attacks on Israel, further intensifying regional tensions.
