MADRID Dec. 31 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Israeli Army announced this Tuesday the death of an Islamic Jihad commander in a bombing carried out in early December against the Gaza Strip with the help of information collected by the country’s Intelligence services.
Thus, he indicated that the member of the Palestinian armed group, whom he described as a “major terrorist”, has been identified as Anas Muhamad Sadi, of Egyptian origin and in charge of a rocket unit in the north of the Gaza Strip.
“At the beginning of the month, an Air Force plane attacked and killed with a rocket the Egyptian terrorist Anas Muhamad Sadi (…), who drew up many terrorist plans and commanded operations of this type against citizens and soldiers of the State of Israel,” The Armed Forces have indicated in a statement.
“Since October 7, 2023, Sadi commanded the launching of rockets from the northern part of the Gaza Strip towards the settlements surrounding the area,” they stressed before stating that the necessary measures have been taken to “reduce the possibilities of causing civilian damage”.
In this sense, they have assured that the Israeli authorities will continue to take measures to “harm anyone who promotes and participates in acts of terrorism against Israeli citizens.” “We will work to meet the objectives of the war,” the text states.
More than 45,540 people have died in the Gaza Strip due to the military offensive launched by Israel in response to the attacks of October 7, 2023, according to the latest balance from the Gaza Ministry of Health.
