Hamas has confirmed the deaths of five of its military leaders. The announcement was made by the group's armed wing.
The killed officials include a senior commander known publicly only as "Abu Anas." He served as a masked spokesperson and was a member of Hamas's top military council.
This is seen as a major strike against the militant organization's leadership during the war in Gaza. The loss of multiple high-ranking figures at once could disrupt its command structure.
Hamas did not specify when or how the commanders were killed. The Israeli military has not yet commented on this specific announcement.
