Hamas Spokesman Hazem Qassem Survives Israeli Airstrike: Report

ISTANBUL, July 10 (NNN-Anadolu) -- Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem survived an Israeli airstrike as Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip killed six people on Thursday, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported, citing Saudi-based Al Arabiya television.

A security source in Gaza reportedly said that one of the Israeli airstrikes targeted Qassem's car.

Although Qassem was not in the car at the time of the attack, his bodyguard was reportedly killed.

At least 12 Palestinians were killed and 20 others injured in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours amid ongoing violations of a ceasefire in effect since last October.

Since the start of Israel’s genocide in Gaza on Oct 8, 2023, 73,118 Palestinians have been killed and 173,615 injured, in addition to widespread destruction affecting about 90 per cent of civilian infrastructure.
