Israel’s Gaza air strike kills Hamas commander behind October 7, 2023 attack
An Israeli air strike killed the head of Hamas’ armed wing in north Gaza on Tuesday, officials on both sides said, with the militant group describing him as a leader of the October 7, 2023 attack that precipitated war in the Palestinian enclave.
Medics said the Israeli strike hit a building in Gaza City’s Nasr neighbourhood around dawn. A second person died from wounds after the attack, health officials said.
