This developments comes weeks after Israel eliminated another high-profile leader, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah through airstrikes in Lebanon.
Earlier, another senior Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, died in Iran. Though, Tehran and Hamas have accused Israel behind the attack, Israel has neither accepted nor denied the charge.Recently, the IDF eliminated several high-ranking Hamas officials, including Rawhi Mushtaha, Head of the Hamas government in Gaza, and Sameh al-Siraj, who held the security portfolio in Hamas' political bureau.

A day earlier, the IDF said that it was preparing to evacuate civilians from all of north Gaza, and would increase the size of the humanitarian zone.
The zone, where the vast majority of the Gazan population currently resides, is where most humanitarian aid is being delivered. There are also field hospitals there.The military also said it was opening up two evacuation routes for Palestinians -- along the Salah a-Din road and the coastal road. Aid groups have warned against repeated displacement of already malnourished Palestinians.
