The attack occurred in the Jabalia area, where several people were also injured.
This assassination is another blow to the leadership of Hamas after Israel resumed active hostilities in the Gaza Strip. Earlier this week, Israeli forces eliminated two high-ranking members of the group's political office – Ismail Barhum and Salah al-Bardawil. In general, according to Palestinian sources, more than half of the members of the Hamas governing body have died since the beginning of the war.
Israel resumed military operations after a two-month truce, accusing Hamas of refusing to release hostages. According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, the resumption of hostilities has led to the death of at least 830 people, including many women and children.

Earlier, it was reported that five Hamas leaders and officials, including the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs and the head of internal operations, were killed in Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip. Hamas accused Israel of escalating.
