On Friday, Israel executed a series of airstrikes in Gaza, specifically targeting Izz al-Din al-Haddad, the military leader of Hamas. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that al-Haddad was a principal planner of the October 7 attack on Israel. The strikes resulted in at least seven fatalities and numerous injuries, as reported by local health officials. One of the airstrikes hit a residential building in Gaza City, while another targeted a vehicle in the vicinity. Those injured were promptly transported to Al-Shifa Hospital for treatment. The airstrikes come amid heightened tensions and stalled ceasefire discussions. Al-Haddad, referred to as the 'Ghost of Al-Qassam,' is a pivotal figure within Hamas, especially following the deaths of other leadership members.
