Israel conducted an airstrike in Gaza City on Friday targeting Izz al-Din al-Haddad, the leader of Hamas' military wing.
Israeli officials described al-Haddad as an architect of the October 7, 2023, attacks that precipitated Israel's two-year assault on the Palestinian territory. Al-Haddad took over the group's military wing in Gaza last year.
It was not immediately clear if al-Haddad was killed or injured in the strike. Hamas has provided no immediate confirmation regarding the attack.
