Israel killed a Hamas commander in the Gaza Strip on Sunday in what the military described as a targeted strike, which Palestinians said was the first such action since the 2014 war in the Palestinian enclave. An Israeli military statement said that Hamed al-Khoudary had been responsible for transferring funds from Iran to armed factions in Gaza. A damaged building stands on a debris-strewn street in Gaza City on Sunday following Israeli airstrikes on the Palestinian enclave. Gaza militants fired fresh rocket barrages at Israel early Sunday as the conflict continued. Israeli media reported two others were killed later Sunday in a rocket strike on a factory in the city.
