Weekend Israeli strike killed Hamas military chief tied to Oct. 7 attacks: report
An Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed Hamas military wing leader Izz al-Din al-Haddad, whom Israel described as one of the last surviving architects of the Oct. 7, 2023 terror attacks.
The Israeli military said al-Haddad was killed Friday in a strike in Gaza. Hamas later confirmed his death.
Israel said al-Haddad helped direct the planning and execution of the Oct. 7 attacks, when Hamas-led terrorists killed roughly 1,200 people in southern Israel and took more than 250 hostages.
Israeli officials said al-Haddad had recently taken over leadership of Hamas’ military wing following the death of Mohammed Sinwar.
The military also accused al-Haddad of surrounding himself with Israeli hostages during the war to deter attacks against him.
Al-Haddad’s family confirmed to The Associated Press that he was killed alongside six other people, including his wife and daughter.
Israel Defense Forces chief Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir called the killing a “significant operational achievement” and said Israel would continue pursuing those responsible for the Oct. 7 massacre.
