According to local sources, an Israeli airstrike on the town of al-Zawaida in central Gaza killed six members of Hamas’ al-Qassam Brigades, including Yahya al-Mabuh, commander of an elite unit in the Jabalia Battalion.
The target of the attack was a small seaside cafe located in a tent along the city’s waterfront.
Al-Zawaida is located between Deir al-Balah and Khan Yunis, on the Mediterranean coast of Gaza. Six fighters, originally from northern Gaza, were reportedly operating in the central area at the time of the attack.
The death of al-Mabhouh, a high-ranking field commander, represents one of the most significant losses for Hamas’ elite forces since the ceasefire began.
