Israeli forces attacked and wounded Husam Hamdan, a senior Hamas terrorist responsible for setting up the “Qassam rocket infrastructure in the Gaza town of Khan Yunis” and long-range Grad missile attacks on the Israeli cities of Be’er Sheva and Ofakim.
Khan Yunis is 48 kilometers / 30 miles from Be’er Sheva. Now imagine you lived in Seattle and had to face daily rocket attacks from terrorists in Tacoma, Washington. That’s roughly the same distance.
The distance between Khan Yunis in Gaza and Ofakim, Israel is 33 kilometres / 21 miles. Imagine if you lived in Beverly Hills, California faced daily rocket attacks from terrorists in Malibu. Terrifying.
Other Hamas terror leaders the IDF targeted included Mohamad Hilu, responsible for Hamas’ commando forces in Han Yunes, and Mohamad Shalpoch, a member of Hamas’ commando forces in Jebaliya. Both Hilu and Shalpoch were involved in launching rocket attacks from Gaza into Israel.
