(FOX NEWS) — Israel on Friday targeted a Hamas leader it described as an architect of the October 7, 2023, attacks.
The Israeli Air Force launched an airstrike against Hamas military chief Izz al-Din Haddad in Gaza City, according to a joint statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, as reported by the Times of Israel.
It wasn’t clear if al-Haddad was killed in the strike.
He assumed the role of the militant group’s military chief in the Gaza Strip following Israel’s killing of commander Mohammad Sinwar in May 2025, Reuters reported.
