Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida killed in Gaza, Israel says

Israeli forces have announced the killing of Abu Obeida, a prominent spokesman for Hamas, in a targeted strike in Gaza. The operation was enabled by intelligence that pinpointed his location in a six-storey apartment building, where five missiles struck his hiding place, reportedly used as a dentist's surgery. Abu Obeida was one of the last senior figures of Hamas's military wing remaining from before the October attack on southern Israel, and he was widely recognized for his masked appearances and speeches. His death comes as Israel intensifies its campaign in Gaza, with officials warning that more Hamas leaders will be targeted.
