Hamas spokesperson Abdel Latif Al Qanoua has been killed in an Israeli air strike in northern Gaza, Hamas-affiliated media said early yesterday, the latest group figure to be killed since Israel resumed its operations in the enclave.
Qanoua was killed when his tent was targeted in Jabaliya, the Hamas-run Al Aqsa television said. The same strike wounded several people, while separate attacks killed at least six in Gaza City and one in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, medical sources said. Later yesterday, the Israeli military confirmed in a statement that it killed Qanoua, saying that ‘he served as one of Hamas’ key inciters’.
Earlier this week, Israel killed Ismail Barhoum, a member of Hamas’ political office, and Salah Al Bardaweel, another senior leader.
Both Bardaweel and Barhoum were members of the 20-member Hamas decision-making body, the political office, 11 of whom have been killed since the start of the war in late 2023, according to Hamas sources.
