The war in the Gaza Strip and escalating violence in the West Bank could escalate into a wider regional conflict involving Iran.

An airstrike on a vehicle in the West Bank killed two senior Hamas militants. This was reported by the press service of the Israel Defense Forces on Saturday, August 17, at X.

According to Reuters, we are talking about:

Ahmed Abu Ara from Aqaba, who planned more attacks and was a senior operative in the manufacture of explosives
Rafet Dawasi from Silat al-Kharitiya, who is a senior member of the Hamas military infrastructure in the Jenin area.

As noted by the IDF, the same liquidated militants were involved in the August 11 terrorist attack in the Jordan Valley, which killed Israeli Jonathan Deutsch.

According to the Times of Israel, Hamas confirmed that the strike killed two members of the group.

In a statement, Hamas said Raafat Dawasi was the commander of the terrorist group’s local wing in the city of Jenin, and Ahmed Abu Ara was a senior operative.

Newly elected Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, through Egyptian and Qatari mediators, has conveyed to Israeli officials that he wants to negotiate a cease-fire agreement.
