Israel’s defense minister announced on Sunday that the army had killed Abu Obeida, the spokesman for the armed wing of the Palestinian militant group Hamas, a day after a strike targeted him.
“Hamas terror spokesperson Abu Obeida was eliminated in Gaza,” Minister Israel Katz stated in a post on X, congratulating Israeli security forces “for the flawless execution.”
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) also posted on X about the killing, declaring: “Abu Obeida can no longer spread his lies, propaganda, and terror.”
Earlier on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that Abu Obeida had been targeted in Saturday’s strike but did not confirm his death.
