Israeli Army Continues Airstrikes on Gaza, Killing Two Hamas Militants

Xinhua News Agency, Jerusalem, August 3 (Reporter Chen Junqing, Pang Xinyi) The Israeli military stated on the 3rd that two members of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) were killed in airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on the 2nd.

The statement said that among the two killed, one was a commander of Hamas's "Nukhba" unit, who participated in the attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, while the other was a commander of Hamas's "Dahaj-Tufah" battalion.

On July 30, Trump posted on social media that the so-called "Peace Committee" initiated by the United States has reached an agreement on the "complete disarmament" of Hamas and other armed groups in the Gaza Strip. After Hamas disarms, Israel will withdraw its troops from the Gaza Strip.

Recently, Israel has continued airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, claiming that the targets of the attacks are Palestinian armed personnel in the Gaza Strip.

According to a report by the Israel Times on the 3rd, the so-called "Peace Committee" senior representative for Gaza, Nikolai Mladenov, and others held a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on the same day. The committee emphasized in a statement that the Israeli military "does not need to withdraw beyond the Green Line" until Hamas hands over all its weapons, and stated that "Hamas has agreed to this."

According to another report by the Today Israel newspaper, Netanyahu told Mladenov during the meeting that due to the ongoing threat posed by Hamas, the Israeli military will not stop its military operations in the Gaza Strip and will not retreat from the "Green Line."
