The Israeli military said it killed a senior Hamas commander, Murad Abu Murad, in an overnight airstrike in Gaza. According to the IDF, Murad headed Hamas's aerial operations and played a major role in directing militants who infiltrated Israel on October 7. The strike targeted a facility where Hamas managed its aerial activity. The IDF also hit dozens of Hamas commando sites overnight - the forces behind Hamas's massive attack last weekend that killed over 1,300 Israelis. Since then, Israel's airstrikes have killed over 1,500 in Gaza amid the worst Israel-Hamas fighting since 2014. Killing Murad is seen as a significant blow to Hamas's capabilities.
