The IDF and Shin Bet conducted 'dozens' of attacks on terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip, killing six senior terrorists, including the holder of the security portfolio in Hamas's Political Bureau, Yasir Herev. Another senior terror figure killed was Muhammad al-Jamasi, chairman of the terror organization's emergency committee. The military also reported striking a Hamas military site and vessels intended for terrorist activities. The IDF began striking the Gaza Strip on Monday night in response to Hamas's refusal to release hostages.
