Israeli forces carried out an airstrike in Gaza that killed Izz al-Din Al-Beik, the head of Hamas' armed wing in northern Gaza Strip, on September 29. Israeli officials claim Beik was involved in planning attacks and recruiting militants. Hamas confirmed his death but denied any intention to rearm or attack Israel. Since an October ceasefire, over 1,400 Palestinians have been killed according to Gaza health officials, while the Israeli military reports only four soldiers died. This strike is part of ongoing tensions as both sides blame each other for violations of the ceasefire agreement.

Story summary
On September 29, an Israeli airstrike killed Izz al-Din Al-Beik, the head of Hamas' armed wing in the northern Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian officials and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz. The strike hit an apartment building in Gaza City's Nasr neighborhood around dawn, also causing another fatality among those wounded by the attack. In early October, another Israeli airstrike killed at least five Palestinians, including four women, in a residential building in western Gaza City’s Remal neighborhood; health officials reported six others were severely injured. Since last October’s ceasefire, Israel claims it has targeted and killed over 20 Hamas figures this month alone, citing violations of the ceasefire agreement by Hamas, which denies rearming or attacking. Meanwhile, Gaza health officials report that Israeli fire since October 2023 has resulted in at least 1,400 Palestinian deaths, compared to four reported Israeli soldier fatalities during the same period.
