The IDF carried out a series of attacks near Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip on Wednesday, according to Walla, citing reports coming in from the Gaza Strip.
The IAF's activity, according to the reports, was in the area near the 'European' hospital in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip - the place where an underground site was attacked on Tuesday, starting senior figures in Hamas.
The IDF attempted to assassinate Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar on Tuesday in a strike on the European Hospital in Khan Yunis in Gaza, in which the military may have used a bunker buster bomb in their attempted attack against Sinwar, defense sources told The Jerusalem Post.
Following the initial attack, the IDF reportedly struck the area where Sinwar was allegedly located a second time, with the objective of preventing the evacuation of casualties, Israeli public broadcaster KAN reported.
Israel did not reportedly update the US prior to the assassination attempt, a source familiar with the details told Ynet.
Hamas Rafah brigade commander probably killed in IDF strike on Sinwar
The IDF's strike on Tuesday night to try to kill Hamas chief Mohammad Sinwar may have killed Hamas Rafah Brigade commander Muhammad Shabana, sources estimate.
So far, there is cautious optimism that both Hamas officials were killed in the attack, though it may take time to confirm.
If so, then Hamas's current leader and one of the few top Hamas commanders until now who might have replaced him would have been removed with one swift military stroke.
