Israel says Hamas intelligence leader killed in Gaza strike

Israel says it killed a senior Hamas intelligence leader involved in planning the October 7 attack, as violence continues in Gaza despite a ceasefire, with reports of additional casualties from a separate drone strike. The Israel Defense Forces said on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, that Iyad Ahmed Abd al Rahman Shambari, a senior figure in Hamas’s military intelligence wing, was killed in the Gaza Strip. According to the IDF, Shambari led the operations department within Hamas military intelligence and played a key role in planning the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel that triggered the ongoing war. The IDF statement did not specify the exact time of the strike or provide additional operational details. The Israeli military has repeatedly targeted senior Hamas figures as part of its broader campaign in Gaza following the large-scale assault that prompted Israel’s ground offensive in the enclave. A ceasefire announced on Friday, October 10, 2025, has largely reduced large-scale combat, but violence has continued across Gaza. The Gaza health ministry, which operates under Hamas authority, reported that at least 818 Palestinians have been killed since the truce began. The United Nations has previously considered such figures broadly reliable, though independent verification remains limited. Separately, Gaza’s civil defense agency said four people were killed and six others injured in a drone strike targeting a vehicle in the western Al Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City. A Gaza security official identified two of the victims as Hamas commander Iyad al Shanbari and his son Salah. The identities of the other two individuals were not disclosed. There was no immediate independent confirmation of the identities of those killed in that strike. The IDF has not publicly commented on the specific incident described by local authorities. The developments underscore ongoing instability in Gaza despite the ceasefire, with sporadic strikes and casualties continuing to be reported.
