Mosques in northern Gaza on Saturday announced that Hamas’ military wing commander had died, a day after Israel’s military said ⁠that it had targeted the armed wing chief in airstrikes.

Witnesses said that mosques in Gaza City had announced Izz al-Din al-Haddad’s “martyrdom”. There ⁠was no immediate comment from Hamas on the fate of the ⁠militant group’s military chief.

Israel has not said if ⁠he was killed in the air ⁠strikes.
