Earlier in the day, the Israel Defence Forces stated that Hamed Ahmed Khudari, a Gazan militant allegedly responsible for transferring Iranian funds to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza, was killed.

"Attacking terrorist targets by fighter jets in the Gaza Strip", the IDF said on Twitter.

Local media called the operation a "targeted killing", a practice that has not been used by Israel since 2014.

The latest escalation of tensions between Israel and the Gaza Strip began on 4 May. The IDF said earlier in the day that Israeli forces had hit 200 targets in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours in response to some 430 rockets fired by Palestinians at Israel. The conflicting sides are continuing to attack each other.
