"Hamas has confirmed the killing of Izz al-Din al-Haddad, the head of the armed wing of the Palestinian group in Gaza, in an Israeli attack a day earlier. Hamas condemned Israel's treacherous and cowardly assassination of al-Haddad, who led the Qassam Brigades, in a statement on Saturday. Hamas said al-Haddad was killed along with his wife, his daughter, and other Palestinian civilians on Friday evening."
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Friday that Israeli forces had targeted and killed al-Haddad, calling him one of the architects of the October 7, 2023, attacks. The Israeli strikes targeted the Remal neighbourhood west of Gaza City. Three Palestinians were killed in a strike on a civilian vehicle, and four others died in a strike on a building, medical sources said."
"Al Jazeera's Ibrahim Al Khalili, reporting from Gaza on the attack that killed al-Haddad, said the strikes caused panic at the scene as dozens of Palestinians were forced to flee the massive fire that engulfed the residential building. Hamas said al-Haddad's killing marks the latest Israeli breach of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, as well as its ongoing aggression against innocent civilians in the enclave."
"Such attacks reaffirm the criminal and fascist nature of Israel, the group said. It demonstrates its disregard for all international laws and conventions, and its failed attempts to impose political and military realities that it has been unable to achieve by force, its statement added. The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement and its military wing, the Mujahideen Brigades, also mourned al-Haddad."
