    About Rafa?
    Sure: Yahoo, Reuters, Asharq Al-Awsat

    Quote from Reuters:

    The Israeli military said the strike against Deif also targeted Rafa Salama, the commander of Hamas’ Khan Younis Brigade, describing them as two of the masterminds of the Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel that triggered the nine-month war in Gaza

    About the pictures, this article shows them.
    Reuters also mentioned them, but it’s written they haven’t verified them yet.

    I should’ve clarified. They aren’t currently using uniforms. As in, in the fighting since the 7th of October. They justify it themselves in interviews and you can see it in videos of theirs.

    And that isn’t the IDF, it’s the Israeli police’s counter-terrorism unit.

      About Rafa?

      Thanks for the sources.

      I should’ve clarified. They aren’t currently using uniforms. As in, in the fighting since the 7th of October. They justify it themselves in interviews and you can see it in videos of theirs.

      It does not matter whether they are doing it now, later or in the past. My point is: both sides are purposefully blending in society of the Palestinian people and that Hamas does indeed have their own military uniforms.

      About the pictures, this article shows them. Reuters also mentioned them, but it’s written they haven’t verified them yet.

      So it is not verified yet or is it? As long as it is not verified by someone else than Israel or Hamas, how certain can we as viewers and readers be? Israel is known for lying to the entire world. Few examples of their lies:

      1. IDF found a calendar in Arabic, not a Hamas ‘names list’ at hospital

      2. Israeli soldier claims Arabic calendar is Hamas ‘guardian list’

      3. Watching the watchdogs: Babies and truth die together in Israel-Palestine

      And that isn’t the IDF, it’s the Israeli police’s counter-terrorism unit.

      Making a distinct between IDF and their police unit does not matter. Israel is doing it as well. That’s my point. Therefore you cannot only ‘point fingers’ to Hamas.

      Honestly my whole point of argument is; there’s no justifying what Israel has been doing since 7 October. Way (way) to many innocent Palestinian civillains have been murdered by Israel with very little ‘‘victory’’ for Israel. Israel’s PM goal is not achievable at all. Because Hamas will forever exist as long as Israel is the occupier, stealing land, illegal settlements, Apartheid and everything else they do towards the Palestinian people.

      "Speaking to Newshour on the BBC World Service, Dr Mohammed Abu Rayya, who is at a hospital dealing with the aftermath of the attack, said the majority of those injured were suffering from multiple shrapnel wounds.

      He said it was like being in “hell”, adding that many of the casualties were civilians, notably women and children. "

      Go to hell.
