Gaza ministry says it will make ‘important statement’ on terror chief’s killing

The Hamas-run interior ministry in Gaza will issue an “important statement” regarding the elimination of Baha Abu al-Ata, who was a senior commander in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group, spokesman Iyad al-Bozm tweets.

Israel’s killing of the terror chief in a strike last month led to days of rocket attacks from Gaza toward Israeli civilian targets and retaliatory IDF strikes on Islamic Jihad targets.
