Yoav Gallant met with the fighter jet pilots who carried out yesterday’s massacre in Khan Younis which “Israeli” claimed to have targeted senior Hamas leaders Mohammad Deif and Rafa’a Salameh. 

“Your actions are precise, of high quality and the results are what allow us to continue to do things,” said the “Israeli” defense ministers at the Nevatim air base.

“Hamas does not have the capability to rearm itself, to organize itself or to treat its wounded,” he further claimed. 

The pursuit of Hamas members will continue for many years, he added, and that the group’s capabilities are “being eroded every day.”

Rafa’a Salameh, the commander of Hamas’ Khan Younis Brigade, has been officially declared dead in yesterday’s strike on Khan Younis in Gaza – according to the “Israeli” army in a statement issued earlier today. 

In a joint statement, the Shin Bet and the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) said that Rafa’a Salameh, who’s one of the closest associates of Al-Qassam Brigades Chief Mohammad Deif, was killed in the strike on south Gaza. 

His death is a “significant blow to the military capabilities of Hamas”, added the statement. 

Salameh was with Mohammad Deif at the targeted site, but the IOF has yet to confirm the killing of the latter.
