NEWSAR · AI

Gaza City hospitals reported several deaths, including at least five children, following an Israeli strike. This attack occurred a day after the newly chosen head of Hamas's military wing, Mohammed Odeh, was killed with his family in an Israeli strike. Israel has been targeting Hamas leaders since the start of the conflict, with the Israeli Defense Minister vowing to eliminate those involved in the October 7th massacre and prevent Hamas from ruling Gaza. Recent Israeli strikes also killed Ihab Khrizim, head of a Hamas funds transfer network, and Mohammed al-Habash, a Hamas unit commander involved in weapons manufacturing. These events transpire amid stalled US-brokered peace talks for Gaza.
