The IDF reported Wednesday that Raleb Armilat, a senior member of the Mujahideen Shura Council of Jerusalem, the group that claimed credit for Monday’s cross-border attack in southern Israel, was killed in a Rafah airstrike.
A second terrorist, identified as Mohammed Rashdan, 26, was severely injured. He was reportedly involved in weapons procurement and rocket fire.
According to the IDF, both Armilat and Rashun were “actively involved” in planning a new terror attack at the time.
Both were riding a motorcycle north of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.
