Israeli fighter jets targeted Khan Younis in Gaza, attempting to assassinate Mohammad Sinwar, a high-ranking Hamas military leader.
This strike, confirmed by anonymous Israeli officials, represents a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.
The attack, near the European Hospital, resulted in substantial smoke plumes, raising concerns about potential civilian casualties.
This military action follows Israel's ultimatum to Hamas, demanding disarmament and the release of hostages as a condition for de-escalation.
