Israel carries out two airstrikes in Gaza City late Tuesday, Palestinian hospital officials report. They say the strikes kill at least three people and injure 12. The attacks occur on the eve of Eid al-Adha (Eid al-Azha), a major Muslim holiday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz say the strikes target a new leader of Hamas’ military wing, identified as Mohammed Odeh. They describe him as “one of the architects” of the October 7, 2023 attacks that trigger over two years of war. The statement also notes that the latest strike comes less than two weeks after Israel killed the previous head of Hamas’ military wing, Izz al-Din al-Haddad. The bodies of those reported killed are taken to Gaza’s Shifa Hospital, which confirms the deaths, according to the reports. Hamas does not provide immediate comment. Several sources add that Eid al-Adha in Gaza is marked by disruption, with many residents displaced.

Israel carried out a pair of airstrikes in Gaza City late on Tuesday, killing at least three people and injuring 12, hospital officials said.

In a joint statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his defence minister, Israel Katz, said the strikes had targeted the new leader of Hamas' military wing. They identified him as Mohammed Odeh and called him "one of the architects" of the October 7, 2023, attacks, which triggered over two years of war.
