TEL AVIV, December 3. /TASS/. The Israeli military has eliminated seven more Palestinian radicals who took part in the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.

According to the IDF, the radicals were eliminated in the course of the Israeli 99th Division’s operations in the central Gaza Strip in the past two weeks. "In targeted strikes, troops of the 990th Brigade eliminated numerous terrorists, including seven terrorists who took part in the October 7th massacre," it said, providing a list of the eliminated terrorists.

Tensions flared up again in the Middle East on October 7 after militants from the Gaza Strip-based radical Palestinian group Hamas launched a surprise incursion on Israeli territory, killing many Israeli kibbutz residents living near the Gaza border and abducting more than 240 Israelis, including women, children and the elderly. Israel declared a total blockade of the Gaza Strip and launched bombardments of the enclave and some areas in Lebanon and Syria, as well as a ground operation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Hostilities continue until now.
