Israeli Strikes Target Senior Hamas Leaders Amid Escalating Violence in Gaza
In a series of airstrikes in Gaza, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) targeted senior figures of Hamas, claiming to have killed Izz al-Din al-Haddad, a military commander linked to planning the October 7 attacks. Reports indicate that at least seven Palestinians have died, with dozens more injured, amidst ongoing military operations. The strikes come amid claims from Israel that it is executing targeted actions against Hamas leadership, which includes a strike that purportedly eliminated the last senior commander involved in the attacks. The situation continues to escalate, with the IDF conducting multiple strikes in Gaza City and international calls for ceasefire amid increasing casualties.
