Israeli forces struck two targets in Gaza on Sunday, resulting in the deaths of two individuals. The first victim was Saqr Nabil Musa Qais, who served as the director of the Turkish NGO Deniz Feneri. According to the Israeli military, Qais was a member of Hamas's armed wing and maintained ties with both senior Hamas leaders and Turkish officials.
The Israeli army provided no evidence to support these claims. The second casualty was a commander of Hamas's armed wing, who was killed in a separate strike in the same region. Since the onset of the conflict in October 2023, Israeli forces have claimed responsibility for the deaths of over 74,000 Palestinians and the wounding of more than 175,000 others.
