The Israeli military says it carried out an aerial strike in the Gaza City area on Tuesday that killed Hamas commander Momen Ahmad Salameh Ay. Haaretz, relaying the IDF statement, describes him as an aide to commanders of Hamas' Gaza Brigade. Separate wire-derived reports (AP syndicated copies and Anadolu) describe an Israeli strike in Gaza that killed a woman, with Anadolu reporting two injured despite a ceasefire; they do not mention the commander, and it is unconfirmed whether they describe the same strike.

Sources disagree on:
- Target role differs: the IDF statement and headline call Ay a commander, while Haaretz's body text describes him as an aide to commanders of the Gaza Brigade.
- Haaretz's headline says Ay held Israeli hostages captive, a detail that no other listed claim contains.
- Location is vague in the woman-death reports ('Gaza Strip' or 'Gaza') versus 'Gaza City area' in the IDF statement, and none of the woman-death reports mention the commander.
- Anadolu reports 1 killed and 2 injured; the AP-derived copies report 1 killed with injuries unknown, and the IDF gives no casualty figures for its strike.
