(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) Palestinian militant group Hamas is rapidly losing ground strength in the Gaza Strip as Israel's Defence Forces are taking the fight deep into the hideouts of the terrorists. Israel's precisional strikes are also successfully taking down the elitist leaders of the Hamas group. Israel began the New Year with multiple strikes on Hamas. The IDF has continued its strikes in the last couple of days signalling its willingness to destroy the Hamas group.
An Israeli strike in Lebanon's Beirut on Tuesday killed Deputy Chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau, Saleh al-Arouri. Saleh al-Arouri, one of the senior leaders of the Hamas fled from Gaza to Beirut after the October 7 attacks. Saleh al-Arouri provided directions for on-ground assaults from Beirut itself. Israel's precision strike also took down Senior Hamas Leader, Khalil al-Hayya. CCTV footage shows the precision strike and the large-scale explosion that took place in the aftermath of the hit.

The duo were working on assault missions on Israel from Beirut under the protection of Hezbollah. Israel post the October 7 attacks vowed to take on the senior leaders of Hamas as well as the on-ground Jihadi militants. The Israel Defence Forces are slowly moving towards completing their objective of destroying the Hamas outfit. However, the fresh strike took place outside Gaza which could take the war outside the strip.
Hezbollah is vowing for a revenge attack on Israel for the strike on Tuesday. In such a case, Lebanon may get involved in the Israel-Palestine conflict. Even Syria fired rockets toward Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights region presenting a challenge for Israel. Hamas under the backing of Iran may take the support of Syria and Lebanon and open multiple fronts of war in the coming weeks.
