The Israel Defense Forces continue to eliminate the leadership of the Hamas terrorist organization. As a result of a precision strike in the Gaza Strip, terrorist Osama Mazini was killed.

The militant leader was responsible for the prisoners. This was reported by the IDF press service.

The Defense Forces, together with the Israeli Space Agency, conducted an operation to eliminate a terrorist in Gaza.

IDF soldiers killed Osama Mazini, head of the Shura Council of the Hamas terrorist organization. The Defense Forces noted that he was responsible for Hamas prisoners and led terrorist activities against Israel.

It is also known that on the night of October 17, Israeli aircraft bombed the cities of Rafah and Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip.

As a reminder, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said during a meeting with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken that the IDF's war with Palestinian militants Hamas is a long war.

Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian threatened "consequences" for Israel, which continued to strike Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip. Tehran said that the resistance front may take "preventive action" in the near future.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, the United States allegedly ordered about 2,000 U.S. troops to be ready to support the Israeli army in the war against Hamas terrorists. The Pentagon sent the relevant orders.
