Among the sites destroyed were the military headquarters of Ali Kachi, a commander of the terror organization's Najaba Force. A number of terrorists inside the compound were also killed, reported ANI

Kachi was killed in a separate strike on Saturday

On Sunday, the Israel Defence Forces chief said that the army will soon enter the Gaza Strip to decimate the Hamas terror group, reported The Times of Israel

Israel ordered some 1 million Gazans in the northern part of the Gaza enclave to decamp for the southern half after the deadly October 7 attack by Hamas which has resulted in the loss of hundreds of Israeli civilian lives and the capture of more than 100 hostages

Israel swiftly retaliated with airstrikes on Gaza that have killed hundreds of Palestinians

In an interview with CBS News the US president Joe Biden on Sunday called Hamas a "bunch of cowards" hiding behind civilians

He expressed confidence that Israel would do everything in their power to avoid the killing of innocent civilians

Biden said that Hamas must be eliminated. However, he stressed that there needs to be a path called the "two-state solution"

Biden said that he thinks Israel understands that a significant portion of Palestinian people do not share the views of Hamas and Hezbollah

Biden also termed Israel's occupation of Gaza a "big mistake"
