Israel says it has killed Izz ad-Din (Ezzedine) al-Haddad, a senior Hamas military commander, in a strike in Gaza City. Multiple outlets report that Israel’s military and officials describe al-Haddad as one of the key figures associated with the planning and execution of the 7 October attacks. BBC, CBS, The Independent and Channel NewsAsia all cite Israel’s account that he was killed in a “precise” air strike. RealClearPolitics similarly describes him as Hamas’s highest-ranking military commander and the last remaining leader connected to the October 7 massacre in the Gaza Strip, according to Israel’s statements. New York Post and other reports also attribute the claim to Israel’s military and place the strike in Gaza City on Friday. A report referencing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz says the strike was carried out on Friday evening and targeted al-Haddad, with mention of damage to a building and a nearby vehicle, based on their statements. The reports provided here do not include independent confirmation from other sources, nor do they describe Hamas’s response.
