The IDF and Shin Bet confirm killing Alaa Hadidi, chief of supply in Hamas’s weapons manufacturing headquarters, in an airstrike in Gaza City yesterday.

The strike came in response to an attack by a Palestinian gunman on troops in the southern Gaza Strip.

The military says Hadidi was a “central source of knowledge” in the field of supply and weapons production, and during the war he worked to provide Hamas’s fighters with weapons.
