Israel kills senior Hamas commander in Gaza strike
Hamas said the strike killed Izz al-Din Al-Beik, one of its senior commanders, as Israeli attacks continued despite the ceasefire.
On Sept 28, Israeli strikes killed at least two Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, with health officials reporting one death in Gaza City and another in Nuseirat.
A US-brokered ceasefire agreed last year remains stalled as negotiators have failed to secure terms for Hamas to disarm and Israel to withdraw troops.
Since the ceasefire took effect, at least 1,400 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, while the Israeli military reports four Israeli soldiers have died.
Israel and Hamas trade blame over ceasefire violations, while the Israeli military stated it struck a militant in Nuseirat without providing further details.
The wider assault has killed more than 73,000 people since Hamas-led fighters killed about 1,200 people in Israel in October 2023, sparking the conflict.
