Israeli airstrike kills Hamas northern Gaza brigade commander

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have killed at least nine Palestinians, including Hamas's Northern Gaza Armed Wing Chief and other commanders, despite an ongoing ceasefire. These strikes, which also resulted in civilian casualties including children, indicate a significant violation of the truce and a continuation of Israel's targeted-kill campaign against Hamas leadership. The durability of the ceasefire is severely compromised, with a high risk of further escalation.
