In a recent report by Israeli media outlet Walla, it has been revealed that Israel’s planned invasion of Gaza has been postponed until after the visit of US President Joe Biden. The expected ground assault, which was initially imminent, has now been delayed to an “unknown date,” with expectations that it will take place once President Biden has left the country.
Meanwhile, Hamas, the militant group in control of Gaza, has announced the death of a senior armed commander. Ayman Nofal was killed in an Israeli air strike on Gaza, according to the group. Nofal held significant positions within Hamas, serving as a member of the General Military Council and as the commander of the Central Brigade in the al-Qassam Brigades, which is the armed wing of Hamas. The militant group conveyed this information through a statement on the messaging app Telegram, describing Nofal’s death as a result of a “barbaric Zionist bombing” targeting the Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip.
