NPR couldn't reach Abu Shabeb's deputy for comment, but an Israeli defense official told NPR Israel believes he's been killed.
Aya Batrawi, NPR News, Dubai.
Israel's military says gunmen opened fire at its forces in an area of southern Gaza still occupied by soldiers.
Although the military says no soldiers were wounded, it launched deadly airstrikes targeting homes and shelters in north and south Gaza.
Hamas says it rejects Israel's claims that its forces were fired upon, calling it a, quote, flimsy and transparent attempt at justifying its bombardment.
Gaza civil defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal says a family of five was killed in one attack.
In a video from last night, he's seen carrying the lifeless body of a young girl with pigtails covered in debris from that family.
When will these scenes in Gaza end?
When will the killing of our children stop, he says.
Aya Batrawi, NPR News, Dubai.
The biggest deal that's being eyed right now by Prince Mohammed bin Salman isn't actually more billions in weapons sales.
He has enough of those.
What he wants is a US guarantee against a range of threats in the region.
And that means a coveted US defense pact similar to the one Trump signed with Qatar recently after it was attacked by both Iran and Israel over the summer.
And this is not a defense treaty, so it doesn't need Congress to approve it, and it is less binding.
But it does offer Saudi Arabia guarantees that the U.S.
would use military measures if necessary to respond if it's attacked.
Trump says the Saudi crown prince is going to be honored on this visit.
The two leaders have built a close relationship over the years, and the president has praised him as a, quote, great guy and described him as a visionary leader.
That's despite a continued crackdown on critics in the kingdom.
