Israel executed a strike targeting Izz al-Din al-Haddad, a top Hamas military leader in Gaza, believed to be a mastermind behind the October 7, 2023, attacks on southern Israel. The move underscores Israel's ongoing campaign to neutralize key figures within Hamas. Hamas has yet to respond to the attack.

Israel announced on Friday its forces carried out a precision strike in Gaza, specifically targeting Izz al-Din al-Haddad, the highest-ranking Hamas military leader in the region.
