Hamas chief dead in Gaza strike highest-ranking leader on October 7

 Hamas military leader Izz ad-Din al-Haddad was killed in an Israeli strike on Friday in the Gaza Strip, the IDF confirmed on Saturday, following an earlier Reuters report that Hamas had confirmed his death.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir described the operation as a “significant operational achievement.”

“In every conversation I held with the hostages who returned, the name of the arch-terrorist Izz ad-Din al-Haddad, one of the chief perpetrators of the October 7 massacre and the head of Hamas’ military wing, came up again and again,” Zamir said in a statement released on Saturday. “Today, we succeeded in eliminating him.”
