The Israeli military announced on Wednesday that Hamas commander Momen Ahmad Salameh Ay had been killed in an airstrike in Gaza City the previous day.
The Israel Defence Forces alleged that Ay helped hold Israeli hostages and worked alongside commanders of Hamas’s Gaza Brigade. It also accused him of preparing attacks against Israeli troops and civilians and helping restore the group’s operational capabilities. The report did not independently verify those claims.
The military said precautions were taken before the strike to limit civilian harm. No details of other casualties or a response from Hamas were included in the available report.
