Hamas’s armed wing says the commander of its forces in the Tulkarem area of the West Bank was among four members of the group killed during a day-long Israeli raid in the town of Dayr al-Ghusun.
A statement from the Izzaldin al-Qassam Brigades names Alaa Shreiteh, 45, as commander of the al-Qassam Brigades in the Tulkarem governorate.
Shreiteh was jailed by Israel between 2002 and 2016.
It also names Tamer Faqha, 32, as the terrorist behind a deadly shooting attack near the West Bank town of Bayt Lid on November 2 which killed off-duty IDF reservist Sgt. First Class (res.) Elhanan Klein.

The Israel Defense Forces and police had previously said that five members of a cell responsible for the attack and other terror activity were killed in the raid, following a 12-hour gun battle and standoff.
