Israel Eliminates Hamas Northern Gaza Commander in Overnight Strike
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

The Israeli military announced Wednesday that it had eliminated Izz al-Din al-Haddad, the commander of Hamas's northern Gaza Strip brigade, in an overnight operation in Gaza. Al-Haddad was reportedly involved in planning terror attacks against Israeli forces and recruiting operatives for the organization.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a joint statement praising the IDF and Shin Bet for their "determined action" against Hamas commanders and operatives. "We will continue to hunt down and pursue all the terrorists of the organization, from its commanders to its last operative, wherever they hide - until Hamas is no more in Gaza," the statement read.

The operation is part of Israel's ongoing efforts to dismantle Hamas following the October 7th attacks. The elimination of a key commander like al-Haddad is seen as a significant blow to the organization's operational capabilities in the northern part of the Strip.
