Hamas announced the martyrdom of Ismail Barhoum, a senior political bureau member, in an Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza.
The Palestinian group stated Barhoum was undergoing treatment when the medical facility was hit. He becomes the second high-ranking Hamas official martyred in Israeli strikes this week.
Hamas condemned the attack as a violation of international law and promised to respond. The incident occurred during escalating Israeli military operations that have reportedly caused numerous civilian casualties in Gaza.
