Israeli air strike kills two Hamas security officials in Gaza

An Israeli air strike struck a vehicle in central Gaza on Sunday, killing two officials from Hamas's internal security apparatus, Al Jazeera reported. Among the dead was the official identified as the head of internal security for Hamas in the central Gaza area.
Neither the Israeli military nor Hamas issued a detailed public statement identifying the individuals killed or describing the precise circumstances of the strike, according to the report. The incident occurred amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which has continued intermittently since October 2023.
The strike adds to a series of Israeli operations targeting Hamas-affiliated personnel across Gaza in recent months. International monitors continue to track casualty figures in the territory, though independent verification of individual strikes remains difficult given restricted access for foreign journalists.
