IDF Kills Hamas Internal Security Chief in Central Gaza Airstrike
The Israeli Air Force carried out a targeted strike on a vehicle traveling south of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, killing two Hamas operatives and injuring four others. Among those killed was Wael al-Ladawi, known as "Abu Hamza," who served as the head of Hamas's internal security service in central Gaza, a key figure in the group's enforcement and control mechanisms. The second operative killed was Ramiz Abu Zariq, an officer within Hamas. This precise attack represents a significant blow to Hamas's command and organizational capabilities in the central Gaza Strip. The strike is part of ongoing Israeli efforts to target senior terror operatives in Gaza.
