China News Service, Beijing, March 12. Comprehensive news: According to the Times of Israel, Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Hagari confirmed at a press conference on the 11th that from the night of the 9th to the early morning of the 10th, the Israel Defense Forces and the Israeli National Security Directorate (General Security Service) Shin Bet) launched a joint operation to launch air strikes on underground strongholds of senior Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) officials in the Nuseirat area of ​​central Gaza.

At present, it has not been confirmed whether Marwan Issa, deputy commander of the Qassam Brigades, an armed wing of Hamas, died in the attack.

  Hagari said that there were other Hamas officials and armed personnel in the underground stronghold with Issa.

According to Israeli intelligence, there are no Israeli hostages held in the area.

  When talking about whether Issa was killed, Hagari said that the Israeli army is still investigating the results of the attack and has not yet received final confirmation, and will inform the public once it is determined.

  Hagari added that the attack, like the previous attacks by the Israeli army against senior Hamas officials, was planned in advance and that the Israeli army would continue to carry out similar operations.

  According to the Times of Israel, Issa is Hamas’ third-ranking figure and one of the figures behind Hamas’s large-scale attack on Israel on October 7 last year.

  As of now, Hamas has not responded to this.

  WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on social media on the 11th that WHO and partners arrived at Shifa Hospital, the largest hospital in Gaza, bringing about 24,000 liters of fuel and medical supplies for 42,000 patients.

He said the functions the hospital can perform are still limited and there is an urgent need for professional medical workers.

  According to a CNN report on the 11th, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in a statement that the United Nations special envoy responsible for the investigation of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and former French Foreign Minister Catherine Colon Na has arrived in Israel.

  In January this year, UNRWA was accused of involving a dozen of its employees in Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7 last year.

In early February this year, United Nations Secretary-General Guterres appointed Colonna to lead the establishment of an independent investigation team to evaluate whether UNRWA made every effort to ensure neutrality within its terms of reference.

The investigation team is scheduled to submit a preliminary report before the end of March and release a final report before the end of April.

  According to Reuters, a spokesman for the Houthi armed forces in Yemen said that the US-UK coalition launched air strikes on port cities and small towns in western Yemen on the 11th, killing at least 11 people and injuring 14 others.

  According to a report by Yemen's Saba News Agency on the 12th, the Houthi armed forces launched two retaliatory actions against the US Navy.

The first operation used missiles to attack U.S. ships in the Gulf of Aden; the second operation used 37 drones to attack multiple U.S. destroyers in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
