Israeli army spokesman Jonathan Conricus announced on Sunday that Israel will confront Hamas "above and below the ground."

Conricus added, in statements he made in an interview with Fox News and published on the “X” platform: “We have prepared the necessary measures to get rid of it (Hamas),” according to the Arab World News Agency.

The Israeli army also confirmed that 212 hostages had been confirmed in Gaza, and added that the strikes carried out by Israel last night killed dozens of Palestinian resistance fighters, including the deputy commander of the Hamas missile forces.

On the northern front, spokesman Daniel Hajari said in a press briefing that Israel continues to attack militants trying to launch missiles across the Lebanese border, and that it bombed a site in Lebanon from which a missile was fired at an Israeli plane.

Yesterday, Saturday, Hamas confirmed the killing of a member of its political bureau in Gaza, Osama Al-Muzaini “Abu Hammam,” during the Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip.
