Gaza City — An Israeli airstrike in central Gaza has killed a senior Hamas figure, identified as the group’s deputy commander. The strike is part of Israel’s ongoing military campaign targeting Hamas leadership and infrastructure in the enclave.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the operation, saying the strike was aimed at disrupting Hamas’ command structure and weakening its military capabilities. Local health authorities in Gaza reported casualties and significant damage in the area.
This latest escalation comes amid heightened tensions and continued hostilities between Israel and Hamas, with both sides trading strikes that have further worsened the humanitarian situation in the region.
The killing of the deputy commander is expected to have major repercussions within Hamas and could potentially intensify the conflict in the coming days.
