The Hamas terror group confirms the deaths of several senior commanders who were targeted by Israel during the fighting in the Gaza Strip.
It says Ahmed Ghandour, the commander of its northern Gaza brigade; Ayman Siam, the head of Hamas’s rocket firing array; and Wael Rajab and Raafat Salman were killed.
The IDF had previously said it had targeted Ghandour and Siam, but did not confirm they had been killed.
