A Hamas military commander who led the attack against Israel was killed by an Israeli air strike on Saturday, its military said, as it prepared for an expected ground invasion of Gaza.
Ali Qadi was killed in Gaza, the Israeli army said. Hamas has not confirmed his death.
It comes after Murad Abu Murad, who reportedly managed the “aerial activity” of Hamas, was killed in a strike on one of the group’s headquarters on Friday night, according to the Israeli military.
Israel declared war on the Palestinian militant group on Monday, following a deadly attack in which 1,300 Israelis were killed.
Two members of Hamas’ political office, Zakaria Abu Maamar and Jawad Abu Shammala, were killed on Tuesday in an air strike in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.
The brother of the leader of Hamas’ military wing, the Al Qassam Brigades, was also killed in Khan Younis on Tuesday.
The Hamas-affiliated Al Aqsa Channel said Mohammed Deif's brother, nephew and niece were killed in the strike. It is not known if Mr Deif was the intended target.
Mr Deif has survived seven assassination attempts, the most recent in 2021, and never appears in public.
His wife and two of his children were killed in an Israeli air strike in 2014.

Senior commanders on target list
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to “crush” Hamas, while Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel planned to wipe the group “off the face of the earth”.
“Hamas is ISIS – and just as ISIS was crushed, so too will Hamas be crushed. And Hamas should be treated exactly the way ISIS was treated,” Mr Netanyahu said.
Israel has also vowed to kill Yahya Sinwar, the head of Hamas in Gaza, who it says is responsible for planning last week’s attacks.
“Yahya Sinwar is the commander of the campaign, and he is a dead man,” said Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, spokesman for the Israeli military.
Mr Sinwar spent 22 years in an Israeli prison for killing two Israeli soldiers.
Another senior target is Saleh Aruri, who heads the Al Qassam Brigades in the occupied West Bank.
Hamas’ overall leader Ismail Haniyeh is based outside Gaza and so may be difficult for Israel to target.
He visited Tehran in June for a meeting with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, alongside the leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Ziad Al Nakhalah.
Mr Nakhalah reportedly lives in Beirut and may also be an Israeli target.
More than 2,200 people in Gaza have been killed by Israeli air strikes and shelling in the past week.
Israel said it had dropped more than 6,000 bombs on Gaza over six days.
Conditions in the besieged and densely populated Gaza strip are dire, with the UN warning of a humanitarian catastrophe amid shortages of food, water and fuel.

How to keep control of your emotions
If your investment decisions are being dictated by emotions such as fear, greed, hope, frustration and boredom, it is time for a rethink, Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at online trading platform IG, says.
Greed
Greedy investors trade beyond their means, open more positions than usual or hold on to positions too long to chase an even greater gain. “All too often, they incur a heavy loss and may even wipe out the profit already made.
Tip: Ignore the short-term hype, noise and froth and invest for the long-term plan, based on sound fundamentals.
Fear
The risk of making a loss can cloud decision-making. “This can cause you to close out a position too early, or miss out on a profit by being too afraid to open a trade,” he says.
Tip: Start with a plan, and stick to it. For added security, consider placing stops to reduce any losses and limits to lock in profits.
Hope
While all traders need hope to start trading, excessive optimism can backfire. Too many traders hold on to a losing trade because they believe that it will reverse its trend and become profitable.
Tip: Set realistic goals. Be happy with what you have earned, rather than frustrated by what you could have earned.
Frustration
Traders can get annoyed when the markets have behaved in unexpected ways and generates losses or fails to deliver anticipated gains.
Tip: Accept in advance that asset price movements are completely unpredictable and you will suffer losses at some point. These can be managed, say, by attaching stops and limits to your trades.
Boredom
Too many investors buy and sell because they want something to do. They are trading as entertainment, rather than in the hope of making money. As well as making bad decisions, the extra dealing charges eat into returns.
Tip: Open an online demo account and get your thrills without risking real money.

Key findings of Jenkins report
- Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
- Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
- Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
- Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."
