Body of Hamas rocket maker killed in Malaysia said to have arrived in Gaza

Hamas say the body of an assassinated Palestinian scientist said to be a rocket-making expert who was killed in Malaysia earlier this week has arrived in Gaza, according to Hebrew media reports.

Fadi Mohammad al-Batsh, a member of the Islamist terror group Hamas, was shot by motorbike-riding attackers Saturday as he walked from his Kuala Lumpur home to a mosque for dawn prayers.

Family and friends of the 35-year-old, along with Hamas, have accused Israel’s Mossad spy agency of carrying out the killing, but Israel has denied the claim.
