An Israeli air strike killed Ismail Barhoum, a member of Hamas's political bureau, as he was undergoing treatment in a hospital. Barhoum had sustained critical injuries in an earlier air strike on his home. The Israeli military confirmed that Barhoum was targeted, stating that he was a key member of the Hamas terrorist organization. The strike on the hospital resulted in one fatality and numerous injuries, including medical staff. This is the fourth member of Hamas's political bureau to be killed since Israel resumed air strikes in the territory.
