The Israeli military has announced that its forces killed three additional Hamas fighters, according to a report by Al Jazeera. Among those killed was a commander who allegedly led Hamas operations on October 7, 2023. The military said another was a platoon commander involved in multiple attacks against Israeli forces in Gaza, while the third was a member of Hamas’s military intelligence unit. The statement did not specify where or when the killings took place, and Hamas has not issued any immediate comment.

Since October 2023, Israeli attacks in Gaza have reportedly killed at least 72,585 Palestinians, most of them women and children. Following a ceasefire agreement last year, renewed strikes have caused at least 809 additional Palestinian deaths.

The latest announcement underscores the continuing intensity of the conflict in Gaza, with both sides maintaining military operations despite previous ceasefire efforts.
