Israel says it has killed Hamas commander in Gaza air strike
Izz ad-Din al-Haddad, a Hamas commander, was killed in an air strike on Gaza City, according to Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu and Yisrael Katz said in a joint statement that Haddad had been "responsible for the murder, kidnapping and injury of thousands of Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers".
The air strike targeted a residential building known as Al-Mu'taz, which was struck by three missiles launched simultaneously from two separate directions, according to three eyewitnesses. A second air strike targeted a car seen leaving the scene, killing three people, according to eyewitnesses and a local source. A senior Israeli security official said preliminary information indicated that Haddad had been successfully targeted. Hamas has neither confirmed nor denied claims Haddad had been killed.
A ceasefire in Gaza came into effect on October 10, but Israel has conducted regular strikes across the Palestinian territory since then. Netanyahu and Katz said Haddad had "refused to implement the agreement led by US President Trump to disarm Hamas and demilitarise the Gaza Strip". They added: "We will continue to act forcefully and decisively against anyone who took part in the October 7 massacre."
