According to Agence France-Presse on January 8, the Israeli military said on the 8th that they had successfully killed a "core figure" in Syria who was responsible for Hamas's rocket attack on Israel. The news has sparked widespread concern in Israel and the Middle East.
According to reports, the Israeli military said that they "eliminated" Hassan Akasha in the Beitkin region of Syria. The Beitkin region is controlled by Syria and is close to the Golan Heights, which were annexed by Israel. "Akasha has been a central figure in the firing of rockets from Syrian territory into Israel by Hamas in recent weeks," the Israeli army said in a statement. The Israeli army claims that since the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Akasha has directed the Hamas cell to fire rockets from Syria into Israel.
The operation comes as the war between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate in the Gaza Strip, further escalating regional tensions. Israel rarely openly carries out individual attacks on Syria and has not allowed Iran, which supports Syria's Assad to expand its presence in Syria. The killing of Hamas's "core figure" was seen as Israel's tough response to Syria and a clear warning to Hamas.
Hamas is a Palestinian Islamic resistance movement that is listed as a terrorist organization by countries such as Israel, the United States, and the European Union. The group has been working to overthrow the Israeli regime and has clashed with the Israeli army on several occasions. The Israeli military said they would continue to take all necessary measures to protect the security of Israel's homeland and people.
This news sparked mixed reactions from all parties in the Middle East. The Palestinian side condemned the Israeli attack, calling it "unprovoked aggression". Israel, on the other hand, insisted that it was an act of self-defence aimed at protecting its own security. The international community's response to the incident varied, with some calling on all parties to exercise restraint and avoid further escalation.
Currently, the conflict in the Gaza Strip continues, with both sides attacking each other. The international community calls on Israel and Palestine to cease fire as soon as possible and to resolve their differences through dialogue and peaceful negotiations. However, tensions and hostilities between the two sides have made peace negotiations extremely difficult.
The future remains uncertain, but both sides need to realize that military action will not solve the problem, but will only exacerbate tensions and tensions. It is only through dialogue and negotiation that a lasting and stable solution can be found and peace and prosperity in the Middle East can be achieved.
In short, the news of the Israeli military's killing of Hamas's "core figures" has sparked widespread concern and heightened tensions in the Middle East. Both sides need to think calmly, resolve differences through dialogue and peaceful negotiations, and achieve the common goal of peace and prosperity.
