A major development unfolded in the Gaza conflict after Hamas confirmed the death of senior armed wing commander Izz Al Haddad during recent Israeli airstrikes. The Israeli military also announced that one of Hamas’ top operational leaders had been eliminated in the attacks.
According to Israeli defence officials, Haddad played a significant role in planning and coordinating the October 7, 2023 attacks that triggered the ongoing war. Israeli authorities described him as one of the central figures involved in Hamas military strategy and operations against Israeli forces.
Reports indicate that Haddad’s wife and daughter were also killed during the strikes. The incident has further intensified tensions as fighting continues across Gaza.
Following the reported death of senior Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar, Haddad had reportedly taken over key responsibilities within the organisation’s armed structure. He was believed to be deeply involved in rebuilding Hamas positions and directing attacks during the conflict.
Israeli officials claimed Haddad also participated in operations involving the capture of Israeli soldiers and used them strategically during the war. His death is being viewed as another significant blow to Hamas leadership amid the continuing military campaign in Gaza.
