Tel Aviv, May 16: An Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed the leader of Hamas’ military wing, one of the last surviving architects of the October 7, 2023 attacks that triggered the war in Gaza, the Israeli military said Saturday.
Izz al-Din al-Haddad was killed on Friday, Israel’s army said.
Al-Haddad’s killing comes as the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas remains fragile as key issues like the disarmament of Hamas stall the deal’s progress. Despite the ceasefire, which went into effect in October, Gaza has seen near-daily Israeli fire with more than 850 people being killed since then, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. (AP)
