Hamas said probing ‘major internal breach’ after Israel targets top commanders

Hamas is looking into a “major internal breach” after the Israeli strike targeting its military chief Muhammad Deif and Khan Younis Brigade commander Rafa’a Salameh, the Saudi Al-Hadath news channel reports, quoting unnamed sources.

The report says that Israel received intelligence for the strike from collaborators who knew the whereabouts of Hamas’s top brass, and from senior Hamas officials from “the second or third tier” that it has arrested and interrogated.

The unnamed sources say the top commander and his right-hand man had moved locations more than once in recent weeks to avoid Israeli strikes.
