Israeli troops targeted the residence of prominent Hamas figure Ismail Haniyeh, sharing a video of fighter jets bombing the house in Gaza. Haniyeh, head of Hamas' political bureau, is accused by Israel of using the house as a hub for planning terror attacks against civilians and IDF soldiers. The IDF also located and destroyed a Hamas naval forces weapons cache. The recent military actions are part of Israel's response to the October 7 attacks, resulting in over 11,500 reported deaths. International calls for a truce intensify amid escalating tensions and civilian casualties. On Thursday, Israeli forces also dropped leaflets warning Palestinians to evacuate parts of southern Gaza, signaling a possible expansion of ground operations to areas where hundreds of thousands of people who heeded earlier evacuation orders are gathered now.
