Israel says it killed Hamas operative in overnight strikes across Gaza
Israeli fighter jets struck more than 100 "terror targets" belonging to the militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip overnight, according to a joint statement released Friday morning by the Israel Defense Forces and the Israel Securities Authority.
Those targets included "an underground tunnel, weapon warehouses, and dozens of operational command centers," the IDF and ISA said.
Amjad Majed Muhammad Abu 'Obdeh, a Hamas naval operative who allegedly took part in the Oct. 7 attack in southern Israel, was killed during the Israeli airstrikes overnight, according to the statement. There was no official confirmation from Hamas.
Israeli fighter jets also "neutralized" what the IDF and ISA described as "a terror squad belonging to the Hamas aerial array ... after they attempted to fire rockets at a jet."
"In addition, terror assets and weapons located in a mosque in the Jabaliya neighbourhood were destroyed, which was used as observation posts and staging ground by Hamas terrorists," the IDF and ISA added.
