In its latest offensive update, the Israeli military claims it carried out an air strike killing a squad commander of Hamas’s elite Nukhba Forces who it said oversaw Hamas’ sniper activities in the Beit Hanoon area and had participated in the October 7 attack, Al Jazeera reports.

Israeli troops and fighter jets killed several more fighters in Rafah and central Gaza over the last day, the military said.

Israel’s latest wave of attacks in Gaza also killed and injured women and children, most recently from the bombardment of a home in Nuseirat camp.
