The Israel Defense Forces announced they have “eliminated” Hakham Muhammad Issa al Issa, a founder of Hamas‘s military wing and a central planner of the terrorist group’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel in 2023.

Dozens of Palestinians have died in several rounds of Israeli airstrikes from Friday night until Saturday morning, officials said.

The strike was the latest violence surrounding the distribution of food to Gaza's population, which has been thrown into turmoil over the past month. After blocking all food for 2 1/2 months, Israel has allowed only a trickle of supplies into the territory since mid-May.
