Hamas confirmed on Saturday that Izz al-Din al-Haddad, commander-in-chief of its armed wing the al-Qassam Brigades, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Friday.

Al-Haddad was killed along with his wife and daughter. The announcement was made by Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem in a video posted on a Hamas social media account.

Earlier on Saturday, the Israeli military and the domestic security agency Shin Bet also confirmed in a joint statement that al-Haddad was killed in the Israeli airstrike in Gaza City on Friday.

Al-Haddad, known by the nickname "Ghost of al-Qassam," is considered by Israel to be one of its most wanted figures having played a leading role in planning the Oct 7, 2023 attacks on southern Israel. He has survived several previous assassination attempts, according to Israeli media.

Gaza health authorities said on Saturday that 13 people were killed and 57 others injured in Israeli strikes over the past 48 hours.

According to the health authorities, a total of 72,757 Palestinians have been killed and 172,645 wounded in the enclave since the Hamas-Israel conflict erupted on Oct 7, 2023.

Among the casualties, 870 Palestinians were killed and 2,543 wounded since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect on Oct 10 last year.
