Security cabinet meets on Gaza offensive as at least 43 Palestinians killed in fresh strikes; Hamas silent on Abu Obeida's reported death
The Israeli military announced on Sunday that it killed a longtime spokesperson for Hamas' armed wing, as the country's security cabinet met to discuss the expanding offensive in some of Gaza's most populated areas. There were no plans to discuss negotiations for a ceasefire at the meeting, according to an official who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak with the media.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz identified the spokesperson as Abu Obeida, the nom de guerre for the official who represented Hamas' Qassam Brigades. He was killed over the weekend. Hamas has not commented on the claim.
