Military chief of the Islamic jihad killed in the Gaza Strip!

Gazastreifen, Palästina - In a dramatic blow, the Israeli army killed the military chief of the terrorist organization of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Mohammed Abu Sachil, in the Gaza strip. This was only appointed leader in May after his predecessor was also eliminated by Israeli armed forces. Abu Sachil's death marks another turning point in the tense situation in the region.

The PIJ confirmed the loss of its leader to the German Press Agency. According to Abu Sachil, Abu Sachil fell in a targeted attack on a former school in the north of the Gaza Strip. Tragically, his son, his daughter and three other people were also killed in this attack, which underlines the brutality of the conflict.

The background of the conflict

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad is known for its aggressive attitude and military activities, which often result in rocket attacks on Israel. Although the group is less strong than Hamas, it remains one of the most radical militant organizations in the Middle East. The current conflict was triggered by the devastating massacre of Hamas and other groups on October 7, 2023, in which 1,200 people were killed in Israel and around 250 people were kidnapped. These events further fueled the tensions in the region and dramatically tightened the security situation.
