Israeli Airstrike Kills Senior Hamas Security Official and Others in Gaza
An Israeli airstrike in central Gaza killed Colonel Wael El-Ledawi, a senior Hamas internal security official, and an associate, according to medics and Hamas authorities. Israel has targeted multiple Hamas-led police members, accusing them of posing threats as part of Hamas' armed wing. Hamas condemned these strikes as attempts to create chaos and violate the U.S.-brokered ceasefire. Additional Israeli strikes killed several Palestinians, including a medic and a high school student, raising the death toll to over 1,180 since the ceasefire began.
