STORYLINE:
A group of Palestinian men in the Gaza Strip sat on Monday by the wrapped body of Ahmed Sarhan, a leader of the armed wing of the Popular Resistance Committees.
The armed wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, a Palestinian militant group in the Gaza Strip, said Israeli special forces tried to capture one of its leaders on Monday but that he was killed in a shootout.
The group said that Sarhan fought back when the troops tried to capture him. His wife and child were reportedly detained.
Palestinian residents said an undercover Israeli force disguised as displaced Palestinians carried out an early morning raid in Khan Younis.
The forces drove in on a civilian vehicle and carried out the raid under heavy aircover, killing at least six people, including Sarhan, according to Nasser Hospital.
They carried what appeared to be luggage and blankets on top of their white vehicle.
The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the apparent raid.
The war in Gaza began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and abducting 251 others.
Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed more than 53,000 Palestinians, many of them women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants in its count.
