Israel had claimed responsibility for the assassination of ‘Abu Obaida’ on August 31, 2025, though Hamas delayed confirming his death publicly until months later.
Aftermath of Gaza Genocide
These developments come after Israel’s two-year genocidal assault on Gaza, which began in October 2023, leaving over 72,000 martyrs and 171,000 wounded. Despite a ceasefire agreement taking effect on October 10, 2025, reports indicate Israel violated it nearly a thousand times, resulting in continued Palestinian casualties.
