A significant figure in Gaza, Yasser Abu Shabab, a clan leader recognized for his vocal opposition to Hamas, has reportedly passed away in a hospital located in southern Israel.

The report provided limited details, neither specifying the exact time of his death nor elaborating on the nature of his wounds. Both Hamas, through its Gaza spokesperson, and other Israeli authorities have maintained silence, offering no immediate comment on the reports.
Operations in Rafah Amidst Accusations
