Palestinian media report that among the dead in the IDF drone strike in Nur Shams is Jibril Jibril, a Hamas member who was released by Israel in a November deal with the terror group.
The deal saw Israel release Palestinian terror convicts and detainees, mostly from the West Bank, in exchange for Israeli civilians abducted by the terror group on October 7.
Jibril had been jailed for hurling explosive devices, stone-throwing, and being a member of Hamas.
