The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) conducted airstrikes on territories in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. Several members of Hamas and Hezbollah groups were eliminated as a result of the attacks, reports The Times of Israel.
In the Gaza Strip, a member of Hamas's military wing, Hossam Mansour, was killed. He worked in the group's internal security forces.
According to the IDF, Mansour took significant and continuous part in maintaining and consolidating Hamas's control in the Gaza Strip, undermining Israel's efforts in the region.
Additionally, Mansour was one of the directors of the British charity fund al-Khair, which, according to the IDF's accusations, transferred funds to terrorist groups in Gaza under the guise of humanitarian activity.
According to Hamas, four people working at a humanitarian aid distribution center in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip were killed as a result of the Israeli airstrike.

Additionally, on the evening of Friday, July 12, Israeli fighter jets struck a building used by Hezbollah, an observation post, and other infrastructure objects in southern Lebanon in Kafr Kila, Tyre, and Hiam.
The Israeli army released video footage of the strikes.
