An Israeli airstrike in Gaza City has killed Islamic Jihad's most senior militant in the Gaza coastal area. The Israel Defence Forces has confirmed to CNN that it conducted an airstrike targeting Mohammed Al Dahdouh. Palestinian sources also identified Al Dahdouh as a fatality and said three others were killed in the strike - a woman, her 4-year-old son, and the boy's grandmother.
