An Israeli airstrike on a vehicle in Gaza City's Tal al-Hawa neighborhood on Thursday, October 22, resulted in the deaths of two individuals. According to the Telegram channel Abu Ali Express, one of the deceased was identified as Hamas activist Fuad al-Gula. Approximately two weeks prior, Hamas militants had abducted the opposition activist, known for his opposition activities. Hamza al-Masri, a journalist based outside the Gaza Strip, had identified Fuad al-Gula as one of those involved in the abduction and specified the area in Gaza City where he was located. Following al-Gula's elimination, accusations began circulating on social media against al-Masri. He has been labeled an agent of Israel's General (Shin Bet), with claims that his published information enabled Israeli intelligence to locate the Hamas activist. No evidence has been presented to support these allegations of collaboration between the journalist and Israeli intelligence. It remains unclear whether al-Masri's information was used in planning the strike. Al-Masri is known for his criticism of Hamas and has previously received threats from supporters of the organization.
