Israel’s military has reported the death of Abu Obeida, a key spokesperson for Hamas‘s military wing, in an airstrike targeting Gaza City.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the death of Abu Obeida in a strike on a residential building in Gaza City. Obeida served as a prominent spokesperson for the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, frequently appearing in videos and statements during the ongoing conflict. Hamas has not yet confirmed the report.
This development comes amid continued intense fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
