An apparent assassination attempt was carried out a short time ago in the center of Gaza City, outside the designated “yellow line” area, after an IDF airstrike targeted a vehicle in the heart of the city.

According to reports from Gaza, the air force struck the car directly, with Palestinian sources claiming casualties at the scene. The identity of the target has not yet been officially confirmed, but the circumstances strongly suggest a targeted killing rather than a broader strike.

NEWSRAEL: WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT
A targeted strike in central Gaza City, especially outside restricted operational zones, signals a potential escalation in Israeli actions against senior Hamas figures or key operatives. Such operations often indicate actionable intelligence and can have significant implications for the security situation in Gaza, Hamas’ internal stability, and the likelihood of retaliation against Israel.
