**Gaza City, March 24, 2025** – An Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza Strip, killed Ismail Barhoum, a senior member of Hamas’s political bureau, on Sunday. The Israeli military confirmed the targeted killing, stating Barhoum was a “key terrorist” and the strike utilized “precise munitions” following intelligence gathering. Hamas sources confirmed Barhoum’s death, stating he was receiving treatment for injuries sustained in a previous airstrike. The attack sparked a fire in the hospital, injuring several others, including medical staff. This marks the fourth death of a Hamas political bureau member since Israel resumed airstrikes last Tuesday following a breakdown in ceasefire negotiations. The previous day, another senior Hamas official, Salah al-Bardawil, was also killed in an Israeli airstrike. The escalating violence continues to fuel tensions between Israel and Hamas.
