The operation was carried out on Wednesday with both Hamas and IDF confirming the death shortly after. This is the first time Hamas has openly confirmed the death of a senior military officer.<\/p>\n<p>The IDF said similar airstrikes have led to the deaths of other high ranking Hamas militants, including the commander of their Anti-Tank Missile Unit and their Military Intelligence Security Department.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">These are the faces of some of the top Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders and terrorists. <\/p>\n<p>They were responsible for the rocket attacks against Israel in the last 72 hours.<\/p>\n<p>They will never plan another terror attack again. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/in1w63wOpF\">pic.twitter.com\/in1w63wOpF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IDF\/status\/1392851654270140422?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 13, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Israeli ground forces are moving into the Gaza Strip as Israel and Hamas continue to exchange rocket fire as well as heavy artillery fire.
