Israeli army says it targeted head of Hamas cell in Gaza

JERUSALEM — The Israeli military said Wednesday it had targeted the head of a Hamas cell in Gaza. In a statement, the military said the strike on the cell leader was carried out recently. The Israeli army did not provide further details on the operation, including the location of the strike or the identity of the targeted figure. It also did not say whether the person was killed. The strike is part of Israel's ongoing campaign against Hamas's military infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, which has continued alongside the broader conflict between Israel and Palestinian armed groups. Israeli forces have carried out regular operations against Hamas operatives and facilities since the war began. No additional information was immediately available from the Israeli military on Wednesday's announcement.
