The 'Israeli' military launched a targeted airstrike on Wednesday evening against a high-level meeting of prominent commanders from the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, in the northern Gaza Strip.
The precision strike, which hit a residential area in the heart of Gaza City, reportedly targeted the topmost tier of the group's northern territorial command.
Casualties reported
According to official field reports from the Palestine Red Crescent Society, ambulance crews rushed to the scene of the bombardment in central Gaza City.
Emergency responders confirmed they evacuated four fatalities and treated 15 wounded individuals from the blast site.
The Red Crescent stated that the 'Israeli' air raid directly targeted a residential home located in the immediate vicinity of the "Israa Tower" on Omar al-Mukhtar Street, situated close to the municipal park.
All the deceased and injured individuals were transported to the society's "Al-Saraya field hospital."
Medical administrators noted that their surgical and trauma teams are currently working around the clock to provide urgent care and necessary operations to the wounded despite extremely challenging field conditions.
'Israeli' media names targets
In tandem with the military's announcement, 'Israeli' television networks provided specific intelligence details regarding the individuals inside the building.
'Israel'’s Channel 15 reported that the strike deliberately targeted a high-profile gathering of Hamas military personnel, identifying two of the key figures present:
- Izz al-Din Beyk: The commander of the Northern Brigade within the Al-Qassam Brigades.
- Imad Aslim: The deputy commander of the Gaza Brigade and the active leader of the strategic Zeitoun Battalion.
Corroborating these findings, 'Israel''s Channel 12 confirmed the operational details, explicitly noting that the 'Israeli' military directly and deliberately targeted the commander of the northern Gaza Strip sector of Hamas alongside his top deputy.
Neither the military wing nor local authorities have issued an immediate statement regarding the operational fate of the targeted commanders.
