A Saudi network reported Wednesday that Muhammad Fayez, the public relations manager of the Egyptian committee in the Gaza Strip, was killed yesterday. The circumstances of the killing were not detailed. The Zioneer reported Tuesday evening that at least six people were killed in a strike that included the PR manager.
A Saudi network reported Wednesday morning that Muhammad Fayez, the public relations manager of the Egyptian committee in Gaza, was killed on Tuesday. The report did not specify the circumstances. The name differs from The Zioneer's earlier reports, which identified the victim as Muhammad Fawaz al-Wahidi.
The Zioneer first reported on Tuesday July 7 at 18:49 Jerusalem that an Israeli airstrike on a jeep in the al-Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City killed two people. Within the same hour, subsequent reports identified one of the dead as Muhammad Fawaz al-Wahidi, the Egyptian committee's PR manager and a senior Fatah figure, and said at least six people were killed in total. A later bulletin at 22:58 Jerusalem reiterated the same details, noting the reports were unconfirmed by the IDF. The Saudi network's Wednesday report is the first to name the PR manager as Muhammad Fayez, creating a discrepancy in identification.
As The Zioneer has reported, Israeli strikes in Gaza have targeted multiple figures in recent days. On Tuesday July 7, a strike killed a Hamas field commander in southern Gaza. On July 2, a drone strike killed the Hamas police director of the Rafah crossing. These follow a pattern of targeted operations against mid-level operatives.
The killing of the Egyptian committee PR manager remains unconfirmed by Israeli or Egyptian officials. The two names — Muhammad Fayez and Muhammad Fawaz al-Wahidi — have not been reconciled, and the circumstances of the death have not been detailed. The Saudi network report is a single-source account that has not been independently verified.
