IDF says Gaza airstrikes killed three Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives

Single source · Central Gaza Strip, Palestinian territories (approximate: Gaza Strip) · 2026-10-25

The Israeli army says airstrikes across northern, southern and central Gaza on Sunday killed three Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives, named as Alaa Abu Zaid, Hamdan Suleiman Ibrahim Abu Amra and Fawzi Salam Odat Allah Sawarha. Some posts and a headline relaying the army's statement give four killed instead. Every claim traces back to the same army statement, and no independent party has confirmed or denied the strikes.
