Hamas confirms that Israeli airstrikes have killed its new military leader in Gaza City. The confirmation follows Israeli strikes the day before, which Hamas says targeted its military wing leadership. According to reporting from multiple outlets, the strikes kill at least seven people in Gaza City, with the death toll based on information available at the time of publication.
The Hamas leader killed is described as the group’s new military figure, appointed after the death of his predecessor, who also was killed in an Israeli strike less than two weeks earlier. This places the incident within a rapid sequence of leadership losses for Hamas’s military wing.
Both sources describe the event as occurring in Gaza City and link the fatalities directly to the Israeli airstrikes. Neither report provides details beyond the confirmations and casualty figures available from their respective coverage, and both present the Hamas statement as the basis for identifying the target as the newly appointed leader.
