Israel says targeted head of Hamas armed wing in Gaza strike

The Israeli military announced on Saturday that it had killed Ezzedine Al-Haddad, the head of Hamas's military wing, during an air strike carried out the previous day in Gaza. The operation targeted the high-ranking commander of the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades as part of Israel's ongoing military campaign in the region. This strike represents a significant action against the leadership of the militant group's armed forces.[1][2]

According to a Hamas source, the air strike that killed Al-Haddad also resulted in the deaths of his wife and daughter. While the Israeli military focused its announcement on the death of the military leader, the reports from within Gaza highlighted the additional casualties among his family members following the Friday afternoon attack.[1]
